Nurses criticize CDC 'paralysis' on Ebola regs

A nurses union is calling on the nation's top work safety agency to issue mandatory safeguards to protect health workers from Ebola, arguing that recommended guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are ineffective. National Nurses United says CDC's decision to issue recommendations instead of mandatory requirements highlights a "paralysis of government" that leaves hospital workers unprotected from Ebola. The group is turning to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to act and will hold a press conference outside the agency's headquarters Tuesday, urging swift regulatory action.
