  • It didn’t say any of that. You’re reading into what you want to read into it. I follow this closely.

    Cal/OSHA hasn’t been lacking in it’s duties (no idea where you even got that from), in fact, they just pushed for immediate changes in the regulations earlier this year. Here’s more specifics if you want to read what it covers.

    The biggest opponents to the bill weren’t just businesses, but you can read their take here. Plenty of others were opposed, including local politicians, and legal scholars. I think what you’re reading into is “if business is against it…BAD.” Which isn’t always the case. As you can read elsewhere, the loopholes created here are massive, and creates a presumption of guilt pretty immediately without requiring any verification from OSHA, should a complaint be made. That’s how they are removed from the loop.

    If this had passed, it would have been defeated in court, causing way more money waste than than actually fixing the problem, which the bill doesn’t. It just makes it easier for people to get compensation claims with zero evidence, and it would have been abused by claimants and businesses alike.
