E&E News: Miner’s death prompts lawmaker questions about agency cuts The Mine Safety and Health Administration has seen staffing cuts and is no longer publishing certain mine inspection data.

Cuts to workers'/miners' safety agencies are putting people's lives at risk. Miners are already being forced to make do with black lung benefits that are decades behind inflation. We need adequate funding to protect workers.🛡️

Tell Congress: Implement the 2024 silica rule! Black lung is surging in Appalachia as silica dust exposure rises. Learn why delaying the 2024 silica rule endangers miners and how to demand action.

Asked about the 2024 silica rule to protect miners from #BlackLung disease, WV Sen. Jim Justice said, "I don't know that I can say I don't support reconsidering [the regulation]."
America’s miners deserve real protection from deadly silica dust, not political doublespeak.

#CoalDust from mining and transport is a source of PM10 air pollution, linked to #BlackLung, silicosis, and COPD. #AirQuality monitoring helps track exposure and control efforts. tinyurl.com/Coal-Dust

Coal miners were close to finally getting stronger protections against deadly silica dust and black lung disease, but the Trump administration delayed implementation and weakened enforcement, leaving miners who voted for him feeling betrayed. #BlackLung

Trump to Coal Miners: Drop Dead The administration keeps delaying a life-saving safety rule—while claiming to love coal miners.

Figure it out, America! Trump doesn’t care about workers, coal miners or anyone else who he thinks is beneath him. #Trump #coal #BlackLung

Trump administration to reconsider black lung protection rule, costing more miners’ lives The rule should have gone into effect to start protecting workers last April, but in a filing yesterday, the administration said it is starting a new, “limited” rulemaking.

We are sad to share that the Trump administration is indefinitely delaying an important safeguard to protect miners from the growing epidemic of #BlackLung disease while it starts a new, "limited" rulemaking. #Silica #SilicaDust #BlackLungKills

Never feel need to vouch really good people. They have vouched for themselves.
Then there's the fucking #hillbilly thinking that his #job is entertaining people that he kept from going to #school and #eating. And getting #blacklung. And #hiding his #wife. Had a #hemorrhoid more brilliant than him.
