Clarence Thomas takes aim at a new target: Eliminating OSHA - Lemmy.World

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has set his sights on eliminating the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The Supreme Court on Tuesday announced which cases it would consider next and which it wouldn’t. Among those the court rejected was a case that challenged the authority of OSHA [https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/publications/all_about_OSHA.pdf], which sets and enforces standards for health and safety in the workplace. And Thomas, widely considered to be the most conservative justice on the already mostly conservative court, wasn’t happy. In a dissent, he explained why he believed the high court should’ve taken the case: OSHA’s power, he argues, is unconstitutional.

OSHA just adds cost to any construction project that isn’t needed.
Show threadMarduk73Jul 3, 2024
So does a worksite death or injury.
Show threadasteriskeverythingJul 3, 2024
Just not nearly as much, and most importantly they are held much less accountable for those things without OSHA or similar oversight…
Show threadPunnyNameJul 3, 2024
OSHA is better than dead workers littering the worksite.

Hey, speaking as a construction worker, get fucked. OSHA keeps people like me alive. Just get fucked. I cannot express this passionately enough.

There is seriously a few accounts on here where they are just shit stains saying horrible shit and bullying people but they are on 24/7 and people just upvote because they look strong and sometimes say things that feel smart or empowering.

If you ever want to know how Trump got to power just look around.

Is Clarence Thomas okay, like upstairs? Does he just go around pointing at random things and screaming “Unconstitutional!” ? Is “unconstitutional” in the room with us right now?

Clarence Thomas is unconstitutional. By his own originalist logic, he is only 3/5 of a human and should not be married to a white woman.

Clarence Thomas told his clerks he wants to make liberals miserable

In a 1993 article in The New York Times, a former law clerk of the Supreme Court Justice said Thomas held a grudge against liberals for making his life miserable.

“The agency claims authority to regulate everything from a power lawnmower’s design,” he wrote, “to the level of ‘contact between trainers and whales at SeaWorld.’”

I fail to see anything wrong with either thing like… is he just mad it is not the people who sell lawn mowers should decide what’s safe?? Please please please don’t tell me Americans are going to dip to this new level of cognitive dissonance

The program for rolling back hard fought union victories is going full steam ahead.

I suppose the American worker could wake up to the reality that the protection against utter abuse for no pay didn’t just appear out of thin air and that only their fellow worker can be relied upon to stick for them.
