“Our economy is on the rebound, and it’s evident in places like Dallas where America’s manufacturers are coming back online and bringing employees back to work,” said U.S. Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia. “At the same time, I’m pleased at how seriously employers, including local business leaders I met with today, are taking the safety and health of their employees. Workplace safety must be a top priority for a successful reopening.”
