Why would OSHA apply? Can’t I dig a hole in my yard and stand in it, without violating OSHA? Don’t you have to be on the job for OSHA to apply?

Gov. Walker is running for re-election, and election is one of the tangential activities required for being a governor, therefore any activity in which he engages as part of the running for re-election process is considered an occupational activity, and thereby under the authority of OSHA regulations.

And I wish I were being sarcastic, but this would almost certainly be the tack used by a leftist judge to allow OSHA to have standing in the case.

P.S. I did not previously think of Gov. Walker as a ladder-day saint...

My rebuttal would be that all election activities are expressly prohibited, while ‘on the job’. So by definition he is off the job while doing election activity.

It just stuns me that some people are so consumed with regulations, that they would even consider filing an OSHA complaint...much less actually doing it.
