MCAA Foundation of Freedom Award
During Tuesday's meetings, MCAA members and executive staff presented the MCAA Foundation of Freedom Award to Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee. This award recognizes members of Congress for their support of issues that are significant to the masonry industry.
"One of the highlights of the conference was the opportunity to meet with the chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Senator Mike Enzi," Bennett said. "This was of great significance due to the fact that Enzi's committee has jurisdiction over issues directly affecting the masonry industry.
"MCAA chose to present Senator Enzi with the Foundation of Freedom Award because of his tireless efforts to reform OSHA and the regulatory process within the agency," she continued. "Currently the process is cumbersome and often inspectors are not adequately trained. Enzi has introduced three different pieces of legislation that would address some of the inadequacies and deficiencies of OSHA. In addition, he is and has been a friend of the masonry industry, and very receptive and friendly to any legislative requests we may have."
During the brief meeting, Enzi told those gathered how strongly he felt that "the people doing the work often know the safest way to do the job."
