Death by Deregulation: Trump declares war on coal miners. #MSHA will "revisit" and likely weaken silica standard that would prevent severe black lung diseases plaguing young miners.

Trump's #MSHA to revisit and likely Biden silica standard, condemning more miners to preventable illness and death.

After delaying enforcement of the Biden silica rule to protect coal miners from sharply rising levels of severe black lung disease, #MSHA announced that it will "revisit" & possibly make changes to the rule. The new rule came 50 years after NIOSH recommended new exposure limits. tinyurl.com/59epnufe

#OSHA & #MSHA are moving to roll back worker-safety rules that protect miners, farmworkers & construction #workers.
NELP's Nicole Marquez & Doug Parker, former asst. Secretary of Labor for #OSHA, explain what’s at stake: www.nelp.org/defending-wo...

The Republican House Budget Bill mostly copies Trump's disastrous l budget proposal for #OSHA and #MSHA, although it does provide more funding for #NIOSH.
The Senate bill, on the other hand, flat funds all the agencies for next year.

Some good news (maybe). Senate Approps subcommittees have voted to fully fund #OSHA, #MSHA, #NIOSH and the #CSB. But there's still a long road ahead. And even if passed, there's the risk of rescission or Trump may just refuse to spend the money. Strange days indeed.

More miners are contracting severe and fatal silica-related Black Lung disease at much younger ages. 1 in 5 coal miners in Appalachia now have black lung.
Meanwhile #MSHA has delayed enforcement of its new silica standard, & Trump has made devastating cuts to #NIOSH.

Coal miners are fighting Trump’s safety cuts — and winning.

#DOGE has announced that 11 #OSHA offices, along with 34 #MSHA offices, will be closed, which will lead to fewer #inspections, undoubtedly followed by more injuries and illnesses." #mining #coal #workplacesafety l.smartnews.com/p-kWuvsne/wq...
#Trump's "skinny budget" for the #DOL in FY2026 makes no mention of #OSHA or #MSHA. (But it does claim #Easter_Seals is a " leftist, DEI-promoting" entity funded, in part, by DOL.)

What the Trump admin loves are big, beautiful coal PROFITS, what’s being left in the dust are coal workers, public health & safety.

15 years after 29 miners lost their lives in the Upper Big Branch mine explosion, Trump and Musk cut #MSHA and eliminate #NIOSH mine safety offices.

It's like every decision DOGE is making is intended to harm people. It may be true that many agencies need some attention but they are vital agencies and gutting them just isn't the way forward. We have been at the mercy of corporate America for decades but at least there was *some* protection […]
Closing #OSHA and #MSHA offices will “inevitably lead to more injuries, illnesses and deaths of workers.”

Mention of #coal, #mining, or #silicosis always brings two powerful songs to mind:

But the bumper stickers on all the coal miners trucks read #TrumpDigsCoal. Maybe they can get new ones that read “Trump Digs Coal Miners Graves.” #MineSafety #MSHA
