Cal-OSHA, Amazon & The Corporate Capture Of California Agencies with Whistleblower David
David Gass, a health and safety advocate and whistleblower at Amazon in the Central Valley talks about the fight to protect health and safety of the workers at Amazon and how Cal-OSHA under Governor Brown and Department of Industrial Relations Director Christine Baker conspired to cover-up serious health and safety problems at Bezo's Amazon warehouse.
Present governor Gavin Newsom also allowed the corrupt Christine Baker to join the California Fraud Assessment Commission representing employers. The Democratic Party controlled legislature refused to call for her removal and also refused to hold any hearings about the corruption at Cal-OSHA and Christine Baker's collusion with employers and the bosses in retaliation against health and safety whistleblowers. They also refuse to have any hearings about the failure of Cal-OSHA to have proper staffing with less than 200 inspectors for 18 million workers,.

She =resigned and then former governor Jerry Brown appointed her to the California Fraud Assessment Commission.
Present Governor Gavin Newsom despite her personal corruption and theft from the state allowed her to sit as a commissioner representing employers. The Democratic legislature was silent about her appointment and also have refused to have hearings on the failure to have less than 200 OOSH inspectors for California's 18 million workers.
