The US Department of Labor is proposing to rewrite or repeal over 60 "obsolete" workplace regulations, affecting areas such as minimum wage, working conditions, and exposure to harmful substances. The changes aim to reduce "costly, burdensome rules" and deliver on President Trump's commitment to deregulation. Critics argue that the proposals would put workers, particularly women and minority groups, at greater risk of harm. The proposed changes include rescinding requirements for seat belts in employer-provided transportation for migrant farmworkers, reversing protections for migrant farmworkers from retaliation, and limiting the government's ability to penalize employers for injuries or deaths in inherently risky activities such as movie stunts or animal training. The proposals are in the public comment period and have several stages to go through before they can take effect. Worker advocates and critics express concerns that the changes would lead to more fatalities and injuries, while supporters argue that the regulations are unnecessary and costly for employers.
