The ABCs of why employers support Trump

TILTING BALANCE OF POWER TO EMPLOYERS
A. Relieves employers for COVID-19 failures
In issuing this guidance, Trump’s OSHA signaled that it did not consider the spread of COVID-19 in non-health-care essential industries to be work-related and gave employers a pass on their obligation to protect workers. After a huge public outcry, the agency rescinded this guidance.
B. Allowing employers to gerrymander bargaining units
