Labor Department Proposes Major Deregulation of Workplace Rules
The Labor Department has announced plans to rewrite or repeal over 60 workplace regulations in a significant push toward deregulation. This initiative, led by the Trump administration, targets various worker protections, including safety regulations and wage requirements for home health and personal care aides. The proposed changes have sparked nationwide debates about the implications for worker rights and safety standards. Advocates argue that these rollbacks could undermine protections established to ensure safe and fair working conditions across multiple industries.
