This eye-opening book shows how the rights of workers to safe and
healthful workplaces are under greater attack today than at any
time since the passage of the landmark Occupational Safety and
Health Act in 1970. This collection is organized around three
thematic issues that pose significant challenges to the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration's ability to protect
workers' safety and health. First, the economy has shifted from an
industrial base to a white collar/service base, which includes more
women workers than ever before - yet many of the safety and health
problems that affect women are not being adequately addressed.
Second, free market ideology and globalization have served to
undermine worker safety and health laws. And finally, the effects
of 9/11 have exacerbated the trend toward weakening workers' rights
and safety standards in the name of national security.
