Take the Safety of Hardworking Miners Seriously!
Target: Richard Stickler, MSHA Assistant SecretarySponsored by: American Rights at Work
Recently released reports uncovered a huge failure at the federal agency in charge of mine safety.
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) failed to fine more than 4,000 safety & health violations over the last six years for mines that broke regulations.
Richard Stickler, the man responsible for mine safety in this country, used to be a coal mining manager and executive. President Bush twice bypassed the Senate to appoint Stickler, despite loud protests from anyone familiar with his egregiously anti-safety record.
It's time the safety of America's workers came first! Sign the letter to Mr. Stickler below and add your ideas on how he can do his job.

Your job is important. All government jobs should come with a job expectation list and a job description. Enforce higher standards for miners or be decent enough to resign.

People who put their lives on the line everyday deserve as much protection as they can get.

If you need to be told why ANY workers need protection while performing the duties of the jobs, let alone workers who already work in such dangerous occupations, then you obviously should not be the Secretary of Labor! Resign and let someone competent and objective who really cares about the lives of economic backbone of the United States do the job you obviously cannot do.
