Controversial OSH activist wins recognition for outstanding service
A former Cal/OSHA staffer frequently under fire for raising concerns about under-staffing and lack of resources at the agency has been named the 2015 J. William Lloyd Award winner by the United Steel Workers (USW).
Garrett Brown, who worked as a Cal/OSHA compliance officer and administrator for two decades, was honored earlier this month at the USW’s annual health and safety conference in Pittsburgh, which was attended by more than 1,500 union health and safety committee members and activists.
