OSHA

Description

OSHA charges forward as the federal authority unleashing new ergonomics standards to combat repetitive stress injuries plaguing workers beyond carpal tunnel confines. Donna seizes its mandates in hallway ambushes on Josh, demanding White House adoption amid small-business cost howls and GOP mockery, igniting assistant protests—Margaret's glacial typing taunts Leo—only for exemptions to eviscerate enforcement, exposing presidential immunity and fueling staff schisms over regulatory fealty.
