Who could be against fair pay and safe workplaces? Give you one guess. President Trump just signed a bill, passed by the Republicans in the House and Senate, that repealed President Obama's Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces executive order. "Fair pay and safe workplaces" says it all. The rule stated that our government should contract with companies that have "a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics." It required companies to report if they had violations of workplace laws covering wage theft, discrimination and safety, when applying for new government contracts of $500,000 to $1 million.
