From OSHA website;
You have the right to a safe workplace. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSHAct) was passed to prevent workers from being killed or seriously harmed at work. The law requires that employers provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. The Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards. OSHA also provides information, training and assistance to workers and employers. Workers may file a complaint to have OSHA inspect their workplace if they believe that their employer is not following OSHA standards or there are serious hazards.

I think going forward, there needs to be some "goals", instead of simply stating..."We're forming a rider's union".
Each & every time I supported it 110%.
I hope this times the charm for sure.
If there's anyway I can help count on me.
I've seen & witnessed far to much to turn the other cheek.
This benefits ALL, that's what most don't seem to understand through all this.
Safe is good!
Safe makes the sports better.
The nay-sayers need to just look around.
It's long overdue and about time.
Make it happen boyz!

I admit to not having read the entire thread. Hope I am not repeating too much of what has already been offered. I would like to commend Chad and Grant and encourage others to make it a united effort. And, mention that an organized group might qualify for some special accident insurance rates?

And I"m surprised at the reaction from the fans on here, well, not really I guess. But we'll really get to see their true opinion of a riders union the first time they've spent $300 on gas driving 6-8 hours round trip to a race, $400 on a hotel, took two days off work, spent $200 on food, $200 on tickets only to find out that the riders booycotted the race because they think the track is unsafe. They might get refunded their ticket prices....but the rest of the money spent going to a race is money down the drain.
I suspect that the first time that happens, the "fans" will be pissed...possibly even some on this board...those like Oldfart, that is all about 'bang for the buck' and is the type that would demand a refund if he attended a SX race that was shortened 5 laps because of the weather FOR THE RIDERS SAFTEY....if he spent $800 on a weekend to watch a race, and they didn't race...guys like him would be calling for someone's head!
I guess we'll see....but good luck to the riders....if a race I ever attend gets boycotted by the riders, I'll do my best to keep my mouth shut and not complain.
Hopefully it would never come down to a full on "boycott" of a race...hopefully the threat of an organized boycott would be enough to force the promotor to modify the track so the riders would race....I hope that's as bad as it ever has to get.
We are behind you guys and support you. Just let us know what we can do to help.
Speculation about Andrew, well it is what it is... Was the track unsafe?? Was it talked about before the race?? Did the promoter refuse to listen to the racers??? All answers we dont know. so we need to quit using every fallen rider from the past as an example of an unsafe track. Is a union really going to work overseas??? Some of you guys are jumping the gun.
I agree we need safe tracks. If the guys who race those tracks feel unsafe then they need a voice. So overall it's a great idea, it's just not going to stop every injury from ever happening... Slow down guys..
Sean..... Dont leave Danny out of that equation... Before any of them there was Danny. This is a subject that Magoo has been talking about for years.
