How Do I Get a Law Protecting Worker Safety Changed?
Full Question:
My partner, a sub-contractor lost his life....I was shockedand disappointed to learn that OSHA does cover sub-contractors, therefore their 'investigation' was terminated. Apparently this is a glaring FLAW in a system....likely, Nationwide....There is a need to call attention to this glaring ommission....How can attention be focused on this ? Who can I direct this to and what can 'you' suggest as to how to proceed with this. I have the names of my legislators and I can visit OSHA and write to Washington.I need advise and a direction on how to proceed....Do you believe in this....and what specific advice, direction and information can you offer....How can I publicize this locally, nationally and on the Internet....publicize this and get legal attention for this.

Answer:
There are many avenues for promoting a cause, from bumper stickers to lobbying legislators. We suggest you contact your local legislators. Getting the support of local union leaders is another option you may wish to explore, as there is strength in numbers and they may be helpful with lobbying.
