United Shore, Livonia UPS facility among businesses to get COVID-19 workplace citations from state - Crain's Detroit

Pontiac-based United Shore Financial Services LLC and a UPS distribution center in Livonia are among the first round of businesses to get state-level citations for not following COVID-19 workplace safety rules.

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Friday announced it was targeting six businesses for what it calls "serious" safety and health violations.

The citations are for employers not providing workplaces "free from recognized hazards that are causing, or are likely to cause, death or serious physical harm to the employee," with fines up to $7,000, according to a news release and comments to media from state officials including MIOSHA Director Bart Pickelman.

They're fining them for forcing employees to wear masks while engaged in heavy physical activity? Good.

Seriously, though, Michigan is well past Its peak, and even on the way down from a second, mini-bump. This is clearly a money grab to make up for state revenue shortfalls that the government's own edicts created.
