(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - National Nurses United (NNU) has begun an intensive campaign to protect their patients and Worker safety on the job against the dangers and ravages of corporate greed. In letters to Both Congressional Committees dealing with Workers’ issues and in an on-line petition the Union wants viewers to send to Lawmakers, NNU warns “corporate greed could compromise patient safety.” And Workers, too. “Under the Trump Administration, OSHA (U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration) is moving policies that help corporations profit at the expense of Worker health and safety,” NNU reports. Since 2025, OSHA has: Lessened enforcement and reduced penalties; Proposed to exempt certain industries from OSHA enforcement entirely, leaving the door open for expansion to other industries; and Proposed to weaken protections for Workers who need respirators to protect them from toxic chemicals, infectious diseases and other respiratory hazards at work. “This is part of the Trump Administration’s fascist plan to rig the economy for billionaires, at the expense of Working People. Workers need more OSHA inspections, standards and enforcement focused on holding corporations accountable to protect Working People, not less. If these changes are made permanent, more Workers will get sick, injured and die,” the NNU warns. NNU, the Nation’s largest Union for Registered Nurses, demands Congressional reversal of all those Anti-Worker actions, and more.
