$7,000 fine?
That is ridiculous.
- pizzalife 3y agoYes it is, but the reason that it is so ridiculously low is because of politicians in Indiana. Republican states tend to heavily favor corporations and business over individual workers.
- gruez 3y agoBut OSHA is a federal agency? Also, from the article: >Indiana regulators found that the warehouse could have done more to fix or manage hazards that were "causing or likely to cause death,"
- drewcoo 3y agoThis is not about OSHA. The article is confusing.
- brianwawok 3y agoAnd this is one of the many things I love about living in Indiana. (not sarcastic). We aren't a swing state, but for sure we go blue once in a while. At the city level things are fairly blue. And my state is not broke, we were running a surplus last I checked.
- lowercased 3y agoIf that's the max the law allows... the laws and regulations need to be changed. Then enforced.
- pempem 3y agoGuess who is busy gutting the folks who do enforcement and de-toothing regulations?
