Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz , vice-presidential candidate, is leading OSHA state plan program.
Gov. Walz 's worker protection initiatives contrast sharply with those of Project 2025 , the playbook for a future Trump administration.
Walz and the Minnesota state legislature have an outstanding labor record in general, instituting paid family and medical leave, banning noncompete clauses, prohibiting anti-union “captive audience” meetings.
Federal OSHA 's efforts to protect American workers were weak and ineffective, authors say.
Gov. Walz signed legislation increasing state OSHA penalties to federal levels, they say.
They say Walz also signed refinery safety legislation, requiring better safety training for refinery workers.
Authors: Walz’s efforts sharply contrast with those of the Trump administration, which has been disavowed by the former president.
