The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions is holding a full committee hearing on the hot topic of ergonomics March 14, with Labor Secretary Elaine Chao scheduled to explain the whereabouts of the Bush administration's long-delayed plan to tackle ergo-related injuries in the workplace.
"It has been a year now that America's workers have been waiting for the Department of Labor to adopt a new ergonomics standard. I look forward to hearing from the Secretary of Labor on this issue at the Committee's hearing on March 14th," said Committee Chair Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) in a statement.
