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.

We expect people to work, yet little if nothing is done to insure their protection - who is going to do the work? Are YOU willing to replace a miner in the current invironment - I'll bet you are NOT! DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO IMPROVE BASIC MINING PROCEDURES TO PROTECT OUR MINERS.

It is a sad day in America when the salary and bonus of the CEO of the mining industry is more important than the safety and health of the workers that create the profits of that industry. America is losing all that made it a great nation in the eyes of the world. Please don't be a part of that process. Stand up for the American worker. God is watching, as well as the World.
