. . .In the meantime, Sensient filed yet another lawsuit -- this time in U.S. District Court -- arguing that state and federal officials and the Teamsters had conspired to violate its constitutional freedom from unlawful searches. The company "has been forced to pay costly fees to consultants, experts and lawyers," the complaint says. "And its long-earned and well-deserved reputation as a leader in the protection and promotion of employee health and safety has been put in jeopardy by the adverse publicity accompanying defendant's abuse of governmental power."
In IOSHA's response, Reason denied that the agency's search had been illegal. In fact, he said he had to threaten to call the police when Sensient interfered with his inspection.
He also said Sensient officials demanded to escort IOSHA inspectors, even to the bathroom. That case is still pending. . .

So as you can clearly see here, corporate Amerika is indeed abusing and invoking its new constitutional rights to oppress and abuse the individual constitutional rights of its workers. (This examples is from a multi-million dollar corporation right here in Indiana).  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  After this and all of the other safety violations that business pull to hurt their employees.  The Republican want to destroy OSHA and let the business police their own safety standards.   :rolleyes: :rant:

  I wonder how many workers would like to work for a company like this for slave wages.  :zoners:

And if this company, in 2012, is so willing to thumb their noses at the governmental authority which is tasked with ensuring worker safety, how will it be when this and similar bodies designed to execute regulatory control over such abuses are abolished?

The SCOTUS already granted them constitutional rights without holding them responsible for conducting business within the same. What next?
