Montgomery County officials are beginning to take action on the Montgomery County Worker Safety Initiative, an innovative package of proposals to crack down on negligent employers, reports Jim Grossfeld, Newspaper Guild CWA Local 32035 and member of the Montgomery County Commission on Health. "Councilmember George Leventhal has scheduled a July 2 discussion on the issue and Councilmember Valerie Ervin is reviewing the initiative in order to introduce it as legislation later this summer," says Grossfeld.
