Statement of US Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis on the death of 25 miners at Upper Big Branch South Mine
WASHINGTON — U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis issued the following statement on the death of 25 miners yesterday at the Upper Big Branch South Mine in Whitesville, W.Va.:
"As we hear of more heartbreak from Whitesville, our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends, loved ones, neighbors and coworkers. Twenty-five hardworking men died needlessly in a mine yesterday. I pledge that their deaths will not be in vain.
“The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration will investigate this tragedy, and take action. Miners should never have to sacrifice their lives for their livelihood."
Shut them down ! No more compromise with companies that 'game the system' for profits.
"The investigative team (click here) will now begin its important work to determine exactly what happened, and Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Joe Main and I will meet with the President to discuss what actions the administration can take to prevent further tragedies in this industry.
"Although details of the catastrophe are unclear at this time, we do know this: Mine explosions are preventable, miners should never have to sacrifice their lives for their livelihood, and all workers deserve to come home to their families at the end of their shift safe and whole."

I am sure the mine tragedy will be at the top of Palin's new show for advocacy for better conditions for families and workers. And I am confident she'll stay on it until the dream is realized.
The crowd started chanting "Drill, baby, drill." But she corrected them: "It's 'Mine, baby, mine.' " (click here)
Massey and Palin made out of the same Wall Street Stuff. Perhaps it will be Massey that will make the show and provide tears to the plight he faces trying to 'deal with' the rights of human beings in the USA.
There ya go, Sarah, some of the babies' fathers are dead. Happy now? Cutting safety to the bone to enhance stockholders happiness a priority still? As a rule, Sarah isn't good with adult issues. Just one of those crazy things that happens in the world of politics, right Sarah? Here today, dead tomorrow. But, the violence sells well huh babe? Oh, yeah. Guns are power, dead miners are wealth. You go get 'em, Sarah. I am sure our Founding (Not Foundry, Sarah) Fathers would have backed that beyond a shadow of a doubt. Death to Americans so Wall Street has its profit margin. I think that might rightfully be called a 'Death Tax.' Maybe your Tea Baggers might put it better into 'concept' that way. Ask Rove, he would know.
