III. Domestic Ills
Occupational Safety and Health
The Issue: The arbitrary and high-handed actions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration invade property rights, raise costs and unjustly impose upon the business community.
The Principle: This law denies the right to liberty and property to both employer and employee, and interferes in their private contractual relations.
Solutions: Private sector consumer activism groups must be created to replace ineffective government agencies like OSHA.
Transitional Action: We call for the repeal of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
