Head of Dept. of Energy panel: EPA study on fracking going too slow to be useful

Head of Dept. of Energy panel: EPA study on fracking going too slow to be useful

The head of an Energy Department panel working to improve the safety of hydrofracking says the Environmental Protection Agency’s ongoing study of the practice, slated to be completed in 2014, is too slow to be of much use. The seven-member Energy Department panel, led by former CIA Director John Deutch, has a 90-day deadline to identify immediate steps to improve the safety of hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, a technology that injects chemicals and water into rock formations to free trapped natural gas. “I am concerned about the time schedule” for the EPA’s final report, Deutch said today during a meeting of his natural- gas subcommittee in Washington

Amnesty International says anti-worker bills violate international law

Amnesty International says anti-worker bills violate international law

Legislation that limits the right of workers to bargain collectively violates international law, the human rights group Amnesty International said today. Under international law, all workers have a human right to organize and to bargain collectively. These rights are an essential foundation to the realization of other rights, and are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families, as well as conventions adopted by the International Labour Organization (ILO)
