It would be interesting to know how many complaints have been filed with the Utah Department of Workforce services about these mining operations. The business Right to Work policies protect businesses. Business has the authority and law on their side in all issues of breech of safety or labor laws. Even the DWFS of Utah violates federal labor laws with internal and unpublished laws violating federal laws. Without unions or organized labor efforts, workers, including white collar jobs, in Utah cannot collectivly file complaints against employers to any state agency in Utah, including the DWFS. The burden of proof is always on the individual to gain acess to company records and company policies to prove violations to its workers in any business in Utah. The DWFS is not worker friendly and makes it very difficult to file compalints and they will never meet any workers or complaints face to face. Businesses in Utah have complete control of its workers, their low income wages, and poor record keeping of its workers. Business has the power and threat of job loss and prosecution in Utah. Utah has no labor laws in regards to worker rights or collective disputes.
