This was a non-union mine, as were all the other mines that have had disasters over the last several years, which is why I put the union in my original question.
I see. You & Thought gotta forgive me, I did mention that I been moving for the last week. I didn't know the mine was non-union
The previous administration spent a great deal of time cutting the funding from regulatory agencies and defanging legislation that would enforce rules on Massey and the other mining companies.
I would agree with this statement only so far, here' why: You have Jay Rockefellor & "Sheets" Byrd, 2 of the most-influential Senators on the Hill (both Dems) Do you really want me to believe they were impotent to what Dubya was doin? Mind you, 60-80% of their constituents were in the mining industry.
Yet you continue to rail against government enforcement as intrusion to private business's interest. I don't mind saying you sound ridiculous.
ok Thought, let's see who sounds ridiculous, Do you think the govt could've prevented this incident?
