In a letter obtained by NBC News, current and former National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health employees say the wide-scale reduction will lead to injuries and deaths.

More than 100 current and former employees of a federal agency charged with ensuring workplace safety warn that American workers face a greater risk of death and injury on the job as the Trump administration slashes the organization’s ranks.

In a letter to Congress, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health employees say that the agency’s mission is at risk due to the administration’s actions over the past several months.

“Without us, more workers will suffer preventable deaths, illnesses, and injuries,” the current and former NIOSH employees wrote in the letter, obtained exclusively by NBC News ahead of it being sent to members of Congress.

But will it also lead to overall cost savings? Because that's what really matters in the Late Stage Capitalism Machine.

My sense is that no, it will NOT lead to cost savings due to lawsuits and whatnot, which is probably part of the reason workplace safety exists as a government function. But the Cheeto in Chief doesn't understand or care, so here we are again.

Yeah but workers are disposable parts of the profit machine.

It's a sacrifice they're willing to make. Gotta bring labor costs down and these pesky safety regulations keep getting in the way.

MAGA is a death Cult. They want you to die on the job, die when you try to have a baby, die when you fly, die from your food. They are the worst of us.
