DESCRIPTION:Life And Death! The Attack On OSHA, Workers Health \n And Safety And 
 Injured Workers - Public Forum\nMillions of workers are facing dangerous 
 health and safety conditions. There are only 1200 Occupational Safety and 
 Health Administration (OSHA) inspectors in the United States, and 170 in 
 California for 18.5 million workers. While the Federal government cuts the 
 budget on OSHA and the National Institute of Occupational Health and 
 Safety, California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) refuses to use 
 the money already appropriated for OSHA staff. At the same time, 
 technologies and industries like biotech and nano-tech are unregulated and 
 threaten not just workers, but also the public.\n This forum will look at 
 the deregulation and attacks on injured workers and their families who are 
 stalled on getting proper healthcare by a obstacle course with anonymous 
 outsourced doctors who are not even licensed in California.\n They also 
 have lost compensation for mental health issues such as depression and 
 insomnia as the rules have been manipulated to force injured workers to go 
 on State disability and Federal disability in a massive cost shifting scam. 
 Many of the injured workers have lost most of their vocational 
 rehabilitation as insurance companies profits skyrocket.\n At the same time 
 workers who speak out about financial malfeasance and violations of the law 
 are bullied and retaliated against. We will hear from health and safety 
 advocates, whistleblowers, WC experts and injured workers.\n Sponsored by 
 Injured Workers National Network\nSee
