More regulations do not help workers. They make it harder for a business to open or a business to expand. Take as an example the change in fall protection requirement for 6 feet to 4 feet. This requires re engineering an entire facility. OHSA was needed at one time but in my opinion is no longer necessary. Ambulance chasing lawyers fill in for them nicely. The Oregon Health Plan is as mentioned for illegals and deadbeats. If you have one of those minimum wage jobs it's not accessible to you. Maybe if mega mergers were not allowed and so many useless regulations put into effect because beaurocrats needed something to do their would be more restaurants and other choices for workers.
