Miner Safety To Be Explored At Labor Briefing

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Join labor and community allies for a special briefing next Tuesday on the Miner Safety and Health Act of 2010, which seeks to strengthen oversight and enforcement in mines and other dangerous workplaces. Briefing organizers are seeking workers who have had workplace injuries and illnesses that would be willing to speak about their experience at the meeting. "Members of Congress need to hear about why this bill is needed!" says organizer Sara Markle-Elder. "Come learn more about the legislation and how it will help protect American workers' lives."
