Bush budget puts the squeeze on worker
protections
The Bush administration proposes to spend almost 100 times more for
the agency that regulates labor unions than for the agency that
regulates employers and enforces worker protections like child
labor laws, overtime, and the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Eisenbrey, illustrates the lopsided, pro-business tilt at the
U.S. Department of Labor.
