While new regulations are good, the cost to get/ stay compliant can sometimes be a bit daunting especially to smaller businesses. When costs like that sky rocket, either the plants have to cut jobs or close all together which doesn’t leave the worker much of anywhere to go. We need to bridge the gap between regulations and business so that they have a more symbiotic relationship instead of a clashing one. When we fix this we’ll be able to make our way on the path to economic recovery.</p> </div></div></div> Sun, 26 Feb 2012 18:51:00 +0000 Florian Schach comment 150324 at http://dagblog.com
