If a President or Congress want to dismantle worker protections or other government programs, they don’t have to repeal or change legislation; they can work their damage through the budget process. Slash the budget of a program you don’t like, and those protections no longer exist. Check out the President’s proposed budget in that context.

Why leading companies put people at the center of their business

ALISON OMENS
April 1, 2017

At the Department of Labor, we believe that the best companies view their employees as an asset to help the business thrive, not as a cost to be mitigated.

I received an email today from a professor at the Harvard Medical School. He wants me to buy a “Special Health Report” from Harvard Health Publications on the subject of positive psychology. “Happiness can be elusive. It can be fleeting. Too often, it can be lost in our modern world's swirl of stress, multitasking, and 24/7 news,” the sales pitch begins.

What’s it take to get a decent night’s sleep in a hospital?

February 7, 2013

Anyone who's had a hospital stay knows the beeping monitors, the pagers and phones, the hallway chatter, the roommate, even the squeaky laundry carts all make for a not-so-restful place to heal. Hospitals need a prescription for quiet, and new research suggests it may not be easy to tamp down all the noise for a good night's sleep.

Billboard industry touts discredited research to support safety claims for electronic signs

Myron Levin
January 15, 2013

A Swedish study has found that drivers take long gazes at electronic billboards, possibly raising the risk of highway crashes.

What I often see is safety folks, both full-time and part-time, who are struggling to do the compliance thing and a management team that is perfectly happy to let them struggle.

November 19, 2012

Lung cancer takes more lives than any other cancer. This year it will kill an estimated 160,340 Americans – more than breast, colon and prostate cancers combined.
