Sad News. Dr. Eula Bingham, Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA 1977-1981, has died. Eula was a true giant in our field. Her commitment to & success in strengthening worker protections was unmatched among leaders of OSHA. Countless workers are alive and healthy because of her.

Our latest analysis of #COVID19 cases by city/town in MA, with data through 5/4. Some good news from Chelsea, which is bending the curve, though still with highest rates by far. Racial/ethnic disparities persist. More data at arcg.is/1Oaej4
