The U.S. Department of Labor is proposing to rewrite or repeal more than 60 outdated workplace regulations, affecting minimum wage for home health care workers, safety standards in construction and mining, and penalties for workplace injuries. The aim is to reduce burdensome regulations to promote growth, aligning with President Trump's deregulation agenda. Critics suggest these changes could exacerbate risks for workers, particularly for women and minorities. The proposals will undergo several stages, including public comments, before potential implementation.
The U.S. Department of Labor plans to rewrite or repeal over 60 workplace regulations, affecting minimum wage for home health care workers and safety standards.
Proposed changes would limit penalties for employers during risky activities and are aimed at reducing regulations imposed in previous administrations.
Critics argue that these rollbacks would increase risks for workers, especially women and minority groups, exacerbating already dangerous working conditions.
Public commentary is a required stage for the proposed changes before they can be implemented.
