June 26, 2025 | HEALTH & SAFETY | Trump’s budget for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the fiscal year starting Oct. 1 would cut job safety inspections nationally by almost 10,000, or one-third, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) says. Baldwin unveiled the figure at a Senate Labor Committee confirmation hearing for David Keeling to be Trump’s OSHA administrator. Keeling is a current top safety and health officer for FedEx, which is non-union, and a prior health and safety specialist, working his way from the bottom up, at UPS. …. “Reduced inspections means more injuries, more unsafe environments, more (workers) losing hours and more families dealing with a work injury. Mr. Keeling is being nominated to be at the helm of OSHA as this happens.” Labor Tribune
