Headway Seen in Fixes to OSHA Problems for Small Firms
A. D. Woody of Pecos Tractor says little progress has been made in correcting OSHA impacts on small businesses. Five days of Capitol Hill hearings prompted a provision barring Labor Department funds for OSHA inspections of firms with under 15 employees in fiscal 1973. Senate Labor Committee hearings occurred, with House Education and Labor Committee plans for September and new OSHA amendments proposed. A federation spokesman and other critics described the law as highly controversial as Congress pressed for changes. In Pecos, more than 200 teachers are expected for District 19 TSTA meeting at Pecos Junior High School, hosted by East Pecos Jr. High principal Bill Moss.
