Huge Failure at Mining Safety Agency - Take Action

Many of us watched in horror last summer as miners lost their lives in the Crandall Canyon mine collapse in Utah, and before that, the disasters at Sago, Darby and Aracoma mines.

You’d think that after all that, the government would make mine safety a top priority. Think again. Recent 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 when mines broke regulations!

This is an affront to workers who put their lives at risk every day. Sign the petition telling the mine safety agency to do its job >>

Assistant Secretary Richard Stickler, the man responsible for mine safety in this country, used to be a coal mining executive. The mines he managed had injury rates that were double the national average.

Sign the petition telling Mr. Stickler how he can improve mine safety >>

Thank you for standing up for workers everywhere.
