Is the FSC finally giving up on "working" with CalOSHA on this issue ?
When I ask Diane why wasnt the FSC taking a more aggressive approach I was told that the industry (meaning the 5 companies that still support FSC) wanted to work with the state to come up with a reasonable solution. I told her dont waste time with that approach.
You guys hired lawyers that knew CalOSHA but didnt know the industry. Was FSC told that there was no way CalOSHA was going to back down ? How much has been spent already trying to work with CalOSHA ?
I knew from attending the meeting in Los Angeles that CalOSHA wasnt going to back down off condoms. Not now, not ever.
I have worked on California employee injury and safety issues since 1997 and have had experience with CalOSHA. They dont change. They are all about the employee, nothing more.
Why didnt the FSC attack this law from day one?
Use the carrot and stick approach. Challenge the law legally and while fighting it try to negotiate a reasonable solution. Your right when you say its a little too late, but it really is the FSC thats wasted years at this point.
Sorry but you guys knew about this issue since at least Sept 2005 when the FSC invited me to come speak to your General Membership Meeting about safety/work comp and production.
