Arlington, Va. 鈥 Today, on behalf of the 黑料不打烊, Executive Vice President for Advocacy Bill Sullivan expressed the trucking industry鈥檚 appreciation at the repeal of the Obama Administration's so-called 鈥淔air Pay and Safe Workplaces鈥 rule via the Congressional Review Act.
鈥淵esterday鈥檚 repeal of the 鈥榖lacklisting鈥 rule by Congress is a positive step toward injecting common sense into the regulatory process,鈥 Sullivan said. 鈥淭he trucking industry is not opposed to sensible, data-supported regulations, but this rule was a prime example of a rushed, partisan and ill-conceived regulation that the CRA was designed to be a check on.
鈥淲e appreciate Congress stepping up and taking a leadership role in reversing this rule that could have unduly excluded carriers from earning contracts to move freight for the government,鈥 he said. 鈥淲e hope that this type of oversight signals the dawn of a new era of inclusive and data-driven regulations.
鈥満诹喜淮蜢萯s proud of the work we did as a member of the coalition that encouraged Congress to take this rare step. It is through that coalition鈥檚 hard work that we were able to secure this important win for not just the trucking industry, but for the business community at large,鈥 Sullivan said.
