Joe Manchin actually said...

"OSHA resources are already strained and too many workers are being put in danger."

"The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, OSHA, as we know it, plays a critical role in ensuring that our workers are safe in their workplaces."

"Unfortunately, the President's budget request both includes a small cut to OSHA and shifts their focus away from enforcement and inspections."

"How do you intend to encourage the environment in which mine safety inspectors and mine employees are encouraged to speak up about violations?"
