Thanks to @AppCitizensLaw for this in-depth review of the new #silicadust rule. All workers deserve a safe workplace, and this rule could go farther to ensure that our region's miners don't get #blacklung when working to provide for their families. Read more⤵️

@MarkWarner BOTH of MY grandfathers suffered from #BlackLung. Probably my great-grandfathers too, but that was before it was a recognized disease.

The new #silicadust rule to prevent #blacklung has taken us some time to digest. The rule takes us in the right direction but we're still deeply concerned that thousands of miners will become sick from silica exposure. Read our press statement here: aclc.org/2024/04/18/his…

A new federal rule aimed at preventing #BlackLung by limiting miners' exposure to silica dust could have been stronger. It could still save the lives of miners, but that will depend on how well MSHA enforces it. appvoices.org/2024/04/17/sil…

"But w/o strong enforcement mechanisms, and w/o any prohibition against miners being forced to work in excessive dust, I’m not sure that this will actually reduce levels of #BlackLung. This rule gives MSHA too much discretion where there should be automatic enforcement actions."

@steelworkers @AFLCIO Where is OSHA in all of this. I thought our country had advanced in protecting our miners with safety equipment that would prevent physical harm to their bodies or property breathing ventilation equipment. Glad what is happening today but #BlackLung in 2024?!🥺

An estimated 16% of coal workers are affected by #BlackLung, and cases are on the rise, according to the American Lung Association. Advocates are calling for changes to how miners' monthly benefits are calculated to better keep pace with #inflation. pnsne.ws/4aaV2bx

#CoalMiners w/ #BlackLung & their families rely on a monthly stipend to make ends meet, but it isn't keeping up w/ inflation. #WV & #VA ppl: help push for legislation ensuring the black lung stipend receives a permanent annual cost-of-living adjustment! appvoices.org/coal-impacts/b…

Several years ago the @KYGOP super majority in #Kentucky passed an attack on worker protections. One of those attacks limited who could diagnose #BlackLung. Only 1 doctor is left now. lpm.org/news/2024-03-2…
