Sullivan to begin collective bargaining immediately with the Massachusetts Nursing Association as the representative of the nurses at the Cambridge City Hospital.

When it comes to establishing and enforcing safety standards, the Federal Government is largely limited to jobs under public contract. The Department of Transportation handles railroad safety. Conditions in the coal fields are the responsibility of the Interior Department's Bureau of Mines. Occupational safety researchers for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare test hearing losses suffered on the job, but can do nothing about muffling the excessive...
