AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler condemns Trump's gutting of #NIOSH as "a gift to corporations that want to slash worker protections to create more profits. It’s an insult to the workers who put their lives on the line at work every day and their families who wait for them to come home."
Every worker should be able to go home safe and healthy at the end of their shift.
The Trump administration gutting NIOSH will have devastating effects on workers’ lives. This action is a gift to corporations that want to slash worker protections to create more profits.
