Everyone who knows me knows that I’m a big fan of public-private sector partnerships, but in the case of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) vs. Wal-Mart, the government is going too far. OSHA is going after Wal-Mart for a $7,000 (yes seven-thousand dollar) fine, and the company has spent millions fighting the case.
A recent Fox News headline begs the question, “Why is Wal-Mart spending millions to fight $7,000 fine?” OSHA has complained to news outlets that it has devoted a tremendous number of man hours to the case and seems befuddled that Wal-Mart won’t just pony up the money. But the company has a good reason not to.
According to Wal-Mart, the citation from OSHA “has far-reaching implications for the retail industry that could subject retailers to unfairly harsh penalties and restrictions.” NRF agrees. Wal-Mart is fighting this battle for the industry, and we should all be thankful.
