OSHA Delays New Safety Rule On Silica

A controversial safety rule on silica exposure is being delayed by the Department of Labor, despite the fact that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) “lowered the permissible exposure limit to silica dust for construction workers” last year. The new rule, scheduled to go into effect on June 23, is now being delayed for three more months because OSHA has determined that “additional guidance is necessary due to the unique nature of the requirements in the construction standard.”


Equal Pay Day vs The Family Values Crowd

When the man who bragged about grabbing women by the genitals won the highest office in the land, leading by 53% among white women in particular, it was abundantly clear that womens’ issues needed a front row seat in politics and pop culture over the next four years. The January Women’s March put forth the first steps in a resistance movement that may well galvanize the electorate and provide the mainstream-Left determination that severely lacked in the lead up to the Trump presidency. Later, the “Day Without a Woman” and Equal Pay Day provided additional soapboxes for women trying to be heard. However, just as “uppity” women have done for generations, they’ve drawn commentary, condemnation, and even capitalist efforts from all sides. Because, you know, the last thing society seems able to do (besides stop spewing carbon) is find its peace with women.
