 The Senate yesterday elected to
postpone final action on an ergonomics amendment offered to the Labor, HHS
funding bill by Sen. Kit Bond (R-MO). The action occurred after proponents
of OSHA's ergonomics regulation employed several parliamentary delaying
tactics, threatening passage of the entire Labor, HHS bill.
According to Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS), the Senate will
now seek to consider the ergonomics amendment within other legislation
that will be passed and sent to the President before Congress adjourns
later this fall. |
