Every worker has the right to a safe and healthful workplace.
That's what the Occupational Safety and Health Act says. But for some public employees, safety and health on the job is a privilege rather than a right. That's because if their agencies won't do the right thing, they have nowhere to turn. Many, like those in Pennsylvania or Delaware, are not covered by federal or state OSHA programs. President Clinton and Vice President Gore want to change that.
