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.

Mining is among the world's riskiest occupations...our government should be ensuring the safety of miners with consistently tough enforcement of all health and safety violations...to do anything less than that is shameful.

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. We expect people to work, yet little if nothing is done to insure their protection - who is going to do the work? Corporations treat miners like modern slaves. I AM SUCH A HARD HEADED SUPPORTER OF THE MINERS. Everyone should feel safe when they are working and not have to fear they're going to die. Enforcing the law selectively, solely for the benefit of a few mining executives, is profoundly undemocratic, arrogant and callous.

Enforcing the law selectively, solely for the benefit of a few mining executives, is profoundly undemocratic, arrogant and callous. I suspect the MSHA was under the direction of the Bush administration considering the same executives helped alot in financing Bush's run for the presidency. Now that it's almost at an end maybe you can get back to looking to the "Safety and Health" of the miners...???
