NFIB Complains About 'Underground' Walkaround Policy

The National Federation of Independent Business cited OSHA's policy allowing union representatives in walkaround inspections in a larger report from its Small Business Legal Center on federal agency actions characterized as "underground regulations." The group also criticized OSHA's use of repeat citations for single corporations based on inspections at different subsidiaries, and calls into question a recent National Labor Relations Board decision expanding the meaning of joint employer.
