we have repeatedly asked osha and the labor department where it is. biden's executive order from his first few days in office said osha needed to have mask guidance for federal workplace rule ready by march 15th. since march 15th we keep asking where is it? what happened to that? well, tonight, they tell us that the new proposed rule from osha about masks in the workplace, that he proposed rule has been delivered to the white house today to the office of management and budget. and this is a big deal. i mean the office of management and budget, there will be some sort of review and eventually some rule will be announced. it's a big deal. for all the checker board mishmash on masks. some have it, some cities don't. if the biden administration is now going to say, hey, new nationwide enforceable federal rule on workplace safety about masks, here's what the deal is on mask for all workplaces. that is going to be a very big deal. and again, that new proposed rule from osha has finally been delivered to the white house as of tonight. more than a month late.

we contacted the department of labor, of which osha is a part. they told us this. quote. the secretary of labor reviewed the materials, meaning the proposed masks in the workplace rule, quote, and determined that they should be updated to reflect the latest scientific analysis of the state of the disease. the secretary has ordered a rapid update based on cdc analysis on the latest information regarding the state of vaccinations and the variants. quote, he believes this is the best way to proceed. okay. but the clock is ticking. people all around the country are going to work in maskless environments today, and even more will be tomorrow. an osha rule could make a really big difference on that front. when are they going to decide? watch this space. >>> did you hear me get bleeped? i didn't hear it. it wasn't in my earpiece, and i couldn't hear it ambiently at all. i didn't know it happened, but apparently i was bleeped. honestly i didn't know it at the time. i have heard that it happened. i have asked the control room to queue it up and play it again if only so i can hear

scrooge, director xmas division osha. while his barbs could be sharp and caustic, he was never mean and vision. he understood with his humor came a power of influence, a power he recognized and respected. my style is different than comedians he once said, i don't try to be off color, i don't go for the jugular, if i do, i try to sugar coat it. gary trudeau once said it best when he told art buchwald that the gentleness of your satire is one reason you are beloved. he also felt with his satire he might be doing something helpful and useful for his country. as he told an interview in the 1960s, a turbulent time, like the turbulent time we are going through today, he said this in the late 1960s, this is a very uptight country now and everybody is kind of uptight. and if you can take some of the pressure off, maybe you are doing a bigger service than changing things. the great historian and my dear friend and mentor david mccullough said that one of the great joys he had in researching his books was reading other people's mai

today is also the 50th anniversary of the occupational safety and health administration, osha, which has helped to transform america's work places and reduced work place fatalities, injuries and illnesses. i'm grateful that today we have secretary walsh with us to discuss how the biden administration is helping to keep our nation's workers healthy and safe. secretary walsh, i especially appreciate how your experience as the son of irish immigrants qualifies you as a powerful voice in this discussion. like you, i also have an immigrant heritage, i often tell the story of my my italian american mother worked in the sweat shops and my friend's mother was one of the 15 people who died in the franklin street fire, a fire down the street from my home when i was barely a teenager. it is impossible to be an eyewitness to events like that, witness the struggle of hardworking families and not be touched by the gravity of our responsibility to one another. which is why i've long dedicated myself to fighting for workers' rights and work place safety laws so that every american can achieve the am

risk of transmission it also be reduced by wearing masks, washing your hands and by following cdc and osha guidance. the main way people are infected with covid-19 are with close person-to-person contact and people who are physically near each other within about 6 feet. additional details on guidance is posted on the cdc website. i went to and again by sharing my confidence to the end of the pandemic and my enthusiasm and also my strong support we should all take the necessary steps to stay safe and healthy until we get there. we are vaccinating at a rate of 3 million people on average every day. this is the spirit of the american people that will help us see this through together. thank you. i will turn things over to doctor fauci. >> thank you very much doctor walensky. like to spend the next couple of the net asking a frequently asked question and concern regarding the impact of covid-19 disease and in pregnant women, women themselves and their fetuses. clearly covid-19 in pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes for mother and baby and then asking the questions what about the safe

while no one believes that we should continue to delay worker protections, osha has already begun the rule making process and is gathering stake holder input. perhaps rather than pass a bill to require the issuance of a rule, we should be considering reforms to the entire osha rule making process. in other words, let's improve the bureaucracy rather than simply flogging it. while osha rule making would ensure workplace policies, according to a 2018 american hospital association survey, 97% of respondents reported they already have a workplace violence prevention policy in place. in 2019, the centers for disease control and prevention stated that additional research was required to identify effective strategies to prevent violence, particularly in health care settings. we can all agree there's a need for osha to do its work, to issue a workplace violence legislation to protect workplace -- health care providers and social service workers. i hope we're able to accomplish this goal but i do worry we are placing another costly burden on the entities through what is supposed to be an exped

there's also an osha emergency temporary standard for aerosol infections like covid. if you are required have symptoms and you caught covid at work, the employer has to pay you for the entire time that you are out. if you do have symptoms, then you can get workers comp. now, with this emergency temporary standard, the employer can require you to use that supplemental sick pay. so what do you do if there's 25 or fewer employees? well, there's nothing unless you work in the city of san jose. if you work in the city of san jose, then it doesn't matter how large you are. there's no exemptions, and you can get 80 hours of sick pay. i did want to mention that i also supervise the office of labor standards enforcement, and it's a legal advice line. and we have a spanish -- two spanish-speaking attorneys. we also have english, vietnamese, tagalog, va scion, punjabi and hindi. i also supervise a rights clinic at community law center at santa clara university school of law. so you can either call the advice line at 866- -- or the law center at 408-288-7030. also as part of a pr

and osha would have a field day there. there are -- you will walk across a bridge that is as wide as this, but it's made out of a log and there's no handrails. if you fall, you're only going to fall four, five feet. you couldn't do that in the united states twice. it was unbelievable. osha would shut this place down in 20 minutes. they would shut this place down in 20 minutes. they would never -- because i've been to civil war battlefields, caution, warning -- they don't have any of that. if you're going to this battlefield, god bless you. it's just -- yeah, literally. but you're going to where the guys actually were. it was pretty good. it was a lot of fun in that respect. >> one of the things you said really impressed me when you were talking about the analogy of how they see the vietnamese, see that area. it's like going to a civil war battlefield today. >> yeah. >> i think that probably captures completely that sentiment. >> yeah. >> it's like going to a civil war battlefield. >> the only thing that the north vietnames

it also included $100 million for osha to protect workers on the job. so we can celebrate that on this celebration of workers memorial day. this $100 million in funding is essential to -- to help defeat the pandemic, but also in the process to keep workers safe. we must ensure that policies are in place to strengthen our workplace safety laws and also to strengthen enforcement. we must ensure that the highest standards -- the highest standards which are informed by recent science, protect to -- exist to protect workers for their health, whether to protect a worker from covid-19 or in a coal mine, we must organize and bargain collectively by passing the p.r.o. act, the protecting the right to organize act. the p.r.o. act would ensure workers have a voice on the job and are able to advocate for safe working conditions and we must ensure osha, the ocking -- and its sister agency, the mine safety and health administration have the authority, the resources and the personnel they need to protect workers every day of every year. our nation's workforce has done

sincerely, e scrooge, director of osha. i hope you enjoyed that, it is one of his best.hile his barbs could be sharp and caustic, he was never mean or vicious, he understood that with his style of humor came in measure of power and influence. a power he recognized and respected. "my style is different from a lot of comedians, he said. i don't try to be off-color, i don't go for the jugular, and if i do, i sugarcoated. the author of dunes berry once told buchwald that the gentleness of your satire is one reason you are so beloved he also felt that with his satire he might be doing something helpful and useful for his country. as he told an interview in the late 1960's, a very turbulent time much like today, he said this, "this is a very uptight country. everybody is kind of uptight and if you can take some of the pressure off, maybe you are doing a bigger service than changing things. my friend and mentor david mccullough once said that one of the great joys he had in researching his books was reading other people's mail. one of the great joys i have had while working on

this is -- >> so -- >> that was to osha, sorry, joe. >> yes, this would be a criminal investigation from the civil rights program of the fbi. this is also the program that investigates things like hate crimes. in this case what they are looking at, john, is a color of law violation. this is based on a federal statute which makes it a crime to use the authority of the color of law to willfully deprive someone of civil rights it means any authority given to you by a local state or federal government. the important piece here is that the use of force, the excessive force in this case be willful. so we've already mentioned that there is a reasonable standard that's actually a pretty wide -- there is a lot of latitude given to law enforcement officers and so what the fbi would be investigating is, you know, whether basically these officers may have intentional use of force they knew was not justified at the time. i'll just add also that this comes with other, all of the rules of normal investigations so any attempt to have the investigation lie would be potential crimes, as well. >> a presenc

the biden administration is taking steps toward finally issuing an osha emergency temporary. we went a whole year in the pandemic where the president of the united states simply refused and the corporate lawyer that ran the department of labor simply refused to issue any standards on workplace safety. think about that. now it means laws and policies that reward work, like the child tax credit. the junior senator from new hampshire is here and has been a supporter of that. end an indication that robs workers of their wages and rights. unions give people power on the job and people ought to have the option of joining a union, allowing them to join together to make their workplace safer. it is workers who make our economy successful. it is workers that allow corporations and wall street investors to rake in record profits. it is hard for that hard work to pay off for our workers, no matter if you slipe a badge or work for tips or take care of their parents or children. work that be rewarded in this country. when you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work. o

the osha folks here at the department of labor have been working on a standard.possible information out there for people and businesses across america. >> mr. secretary, i just want to point out in my final question here that it's a know your value question. you're a leader in the field of equal pay. as mayor, you have the city of boston to get 250 companies to commit to the concept. you launched boston's office of financial empowerment. you pushed the massachusetts equal pay act. will this be a top priority as secretary of labor? >> yes, it is. i had a meeting with the women's bureau here. we'll be looking for funding to build that office even larger. the main topic we talked about was opportunity. we passed legislation as a state representative. i voteded on four or five or six pay equity bills, which is great, but it's time for action now. and i'm going to do everything i can as the secretary of labor working with the women's bureau for action. it's time for action. women in this country deserve action and quite honestly need action. >> is it your goal to get

it's going to take all of us working together, helping each osha and informing each other to get in this group? >> access is critical right now because we want everyone to get vaccinated. when we talk about getting to herd immunity, that includes everyone. of all ages and ultimately including children. the good news, mika, is that several states of already opened up to all ages. and by may 1st, we expect that every state should have availability for people of all ages to get vaccinated. what's also happening, which is critical and parallel, is that the supply is continuing to increase week over week. they're shipping more vaccines to states. states are now using a greater proportion of those vance vaccines being shipped so they're not sitting in freezers a couple of mogs ago. we're getting better as using them in states. we anticipate very well to more online resources seas to them. we anticipate having a flashl phone line, as well, when eligibility is opened up to everyone. so we're making progress, mika, week by week and by may 1st, like i said, we anticipate the vast majority of adult
