A better question is why MSHA allowed the mine to stay open.

The bodies aren't even cold and the politics has become the lead story. What a wonderful liberal world we live in.

A miner who used to be at that mine said on H & C, said that those violations can often be little petty things like signs being put too high and such.
It is not unusual for a mine to get this many MINOR infractions. You know OCHA goes to the extreme. BUT the question is, how many of these were actually Major infractions? How many actually had to do with this accident.
If none of them had to do with this disaster, it's a moot point.

Correct. How many NOVs until a CO ? MSHA can issue a Cessation Order, list deficiencies that must be corrected before mining can resume. Having union representation has nothing to do with this.
