Advocacy Fund
A new Administration and new Congress represent new challenges and opportunities that we will need to face as an industry, together.
The incoming Administration and new Congress could implement burdensome regulations and increase oversight over our industry in a number of ways. Some of these issues we expect will need to take action on in the coming months, such as:
OSHA COVID-19 Standards
Enacting an emergency national temporary emergency standard for industry
Sets the stage for permanent regulation on infectious disease control in the workplace
Climate Change
Pursuing aggressive policies to address climate change, through both executive action and legislation
Rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, eliminating green-house gas emissions, and implementing the Green New Deal
Taxes
Rolling back the Trump tax cuts
Increasing the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%, phasing out deductions for pass-through entities
Raising the top marginal income-tax rate from 37% to 39.6%
Labor
Strengthening worker organizing, collective bargaining and unions through executive action and legislation such as the PRO Act
Labor initiatives, like ‘micro-unit’ organizations and joint employer policies could quickly be reinstated
Additional Regulations
Revisiting EPA’s Risk Management Program (RMP) regulation and making additional requirements
Changes to Process Safety Management
