Read it fine

for those who don't think that elections matter:

Quote:Kline was also dead set against improving the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which has changed little since it was approved in 1970. Its fines are low and if a job safety accident kills a worker, the employer can only be cited for a misdemeanor.

Workers and unions – and survivors of dead workers – argued for higher fines, tougher enforcement and making deaths on the job felonies punishable by years in jail. So did the Obama administration. Kline says “no.”

Kline is expected to chair the House Committee on Education and Labor. I'm sure he'll be just like George Miller, won't be able to tell the two apart. /sarcasm

"Kline, a close ally of incoming Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is no fan of the Employee Free Choice Act. Kline also opposes project labor agreements for federal construction and the new majority-of-those-voting rules for airline and railroad workers seeking union recognition, promulgated by the National Mediation Board."
