In hour one, Michelle speaks with Micah Niemeier-Walsh, Vice President of AFGE Local 3840, about the Trump administration’s assault on NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) and what it means for worker safety across the country. They discuss the critical role NIOSH plays in protecting workers and the risks of undermining it.
