Foxx Slams DOL Union Walk Around Rule

WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement on the Department of Labor’s (DOL) proposed rule that would give unions and left-wing activists access to non-union worksites during inspections conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):

“A decade has passed since this failed policy was sent to the grave to rot, and now the Biden DOL has hastily conjured up some regulatory voodoo to bring it back to life. This has absolutely nothing to do with keeping workers safe. OSHA giving the green light to union operatives and activists to infiltrate non-union worksites during safety inspection walkarounds is blatantly intended to give unions access to employer private property and aid in organizing efforts. The Biden DOL would do well to respect the autonomy of the private sector and not aid hostile takeover attempts by union cronies.”
