The US Senate has confirmed California workplace-safety official Douglas Parker, President Joe Biden’s nominee to head the US Dept. of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
The vote on Oct. 25 was 50-41, generally along party lines. Only two Republicans voted for Parker—Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Rob Portman (Ohio). No Democrats voted against him.
