An organization known as Working America and claiming to have have1-million nonunion members will publicize workplace safety violations on its website, www.workingamerica.org/jobtracker.
The Web site will contain data on more than 60,000 companies. That data will be compiled from a variety of government institutions and agencies, and it will be organized geographically and by industry category.
Such information, if widely disseminated, could generate negative publicity for many companies. Consumer products companies can have their reputations damaged amongst customers, and publicly held companies may have their images tarnished by the widespread dissemination of such information. All of which are grounds for companies making every possible effort to be in compliance with all OSHA rules and regulations.
