Toxic Workplaces: Bush’s Labor Dept. Ordered to Release Info
by Mike Hall, AFL-CIO (reposted)
Tuesday, July 3, 2007 : The Bush Administration's Department of Labor has been ordered by a federal court in New Jersey to release the results of years of workplace sampling for toxic substances, including the cancer-causing metal beryllium. The order came from U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper in a ruling last week on a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Adam Finkel, who served as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) chief regulator and as a regional administrator from 1995 to 2003.
