On Workers Memorial Day, we remember all the workers--past and present--who have lost their lives and recommit ourselves to ensuring that workers' safety, health, and well-being is always the top priority in the workplace.

Michael Lewis makes the case for MSHA, the agency that keeps America's miners safe - and why government has to solve the problems nobody else will - on
@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social.

In honor of the 15th UBB Mine Disaster Anniversary, @bobbyscott.house.gov and @kaine.senate.gov will introduce the Robert C. Byrd Mine Safety Protection Act.

This will improve mine safety and hold bad employers accountable so miners can safely return home to their families at the end of the day.

"If we were doing things that you could make money doing, somebody would be doing it in the private sector already. We're here to prevent disasters," said Mark.

Very timely and terrifying with the 15th Anniversary of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster approaching.

"The lives of people are more important than money, especially my family."

Dr. Christopher Mark is a national treasure!! So grateful that he's willing to share his story. If you want miners to be safe and healthy, then they need a strong MSHA and dedicated public servants looking out for them every day.
