Ellen from NewsHound reveals alarming workforce cuts impacting American safety. The Trump administration has laid off about 875 vital employees at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), undermining support for high-risk jobs in fishing, farming, and logging. This staffing reduction raises significant concerns over worker safety amid ongoing political tensions.

Today in Labor History April 5, 2010: Twenty-nine coal miners were killed in an explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. In 2015, Former Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship was convicted of a misdemeanor for conspiring to willfully violate safety standards and was sentenced to one year in prison. He was found not guilty of charges of securities fraud and making false statements. Investigators also found that the U.S. Department of Labor and its Mine Safety and Health Administration were guilty of failing to act decisively, even after Massey was issued 515 citations for safety violations at the Upper Big Branch mine in 2009, prior to the deadly explosion.
So, the U.S. Dept of Labor, back when the U.S. staffed and funded its regulatory agencies, allowed a murderous boss to get away with 515 safety violations, resulting in the deaths of 29 miners, without any consequences for its bosses. And the courts gave the murderous CEO of Massey Energy a year in a Country Club prison for those same 29 worker deaths. But theyโre gonna try Luigi Mangione for first-degree murder and seek the death penalty because he supposedly killed a murderous white-collar crook?
As they say, there is no Justice for the working-class; but thereโs plenty of โJust Usโ for the wealthy, as in court rulings just for them; subsidies and tax right-offs just for them; elite clubs and resorts just for them; and the right, just for them, to kill their workers and consumers in the pursuit of profits.

Italy: homicide charges against Italian farmer following workerโs death http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJvYqL #Italy #HomicideCharges #WorkerSafety #LaborRights #Agriculture

In addition to using mafia terror to discipline their miserably exploited workers and eliminate union power, these companies also knowingly poisoned farmers to the point of sterility, cancer, organ failure and death, because--if they can get away with it--they don't give a fuck about #WorkerSafety and #WorkerHealth.
Please consider this before buying products from these companies.
Buy local and seasonal veggies and fruit as much as possible rather than ag products shipped from the other side of the planet.
"Republicans just introduced a bill that would eliminate safety regulations and standards for workers.
This will get workers killed, and encourage corporations to gamble with their workersโ safety to increase profits.
Thereโs a reason corporations donate so much to politicians."
-M D'Arrigo
They want to โnullifyโ #OSHA.
Watch these companies lie through their teeth. And the employer, of course, later will be firing people if they get sick or cancer from breathing in all of the smoke.
Amid fires, a fine line between work and well-being

๐ญ Ah yes, the corporate accountability maze, where whistleblowers chase safety concerns while managers investigate... themselves! 90% of aviation safety complaints from 2020-2023 led nowhere, probably because they got lost in the "Speak Up (So We Know Who To Watch)" program. Epic fail at protecting workers. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ #CorporateAccountability #WorkerSafety

H5N1 found in wastewater in Arizona and Hawaii, yet no cattle outbreaks in either state? How'd it get there? Scientists still trying to figure it out.
Meanwhile, just like early in the Covid pandemic, who are the most at risk? Front line workers, mostly low income and immigrant workers in food production. And just like with Covid, we're doing little to protect them? No PPE. No mass testing.

One of the pillars of anti-veganism is doing free apologism for the animal ag industry. Obvs animals are treated awesome and exploitation and abuse is the exception to the rule of giving them daily massages and clearly the majority aren't killed at a fraction of their lifespan but are instead allowed to live out to old age despite the fact that it would cost farms exorbitant amounts of money and negate any possibility of profit. Ag-gag laws are totally for animal and worker safety. Ignore the fourteen year olds with knives. You didn't see that.
