Abstract

The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal that could have challenged hundreds of workplace-safety standards. The appeal, supported by business groups, anti-regulation advocates, and Republican-led states, argued that Congress unconstitutionally delegated its legislative responsibilities to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1970. Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas expressed interest in reviewing the case. The Biden administration urged the court to reject the appeal, stating that OSHA's standards protect workers from various hazards. The case involved Allstates Refractory Contractors, a company that sought to bar OSHA from enforcing workplace safety standards. [Extracted from the article]
