Here we go again: Labor Dept. forums rekindle ergo debate
Trying to play peacemaker, Labor Secretary Elaine Chao on July 16th opened the first of three public forums exploring ways to reduce ergonomics injuries by saying, "We can play politics or we can protect workers. The only way we will succeed "is if we begin with an open mind."
Saying "there's no education in the second kick of a mule," Chao cautioned against pursuing another expansive standard similar to the one rejected earlier this year by Congress.
