we've got a mining story for you and it's also good news and does not in that way
first the good news is that
fifty seven mines or rated abide federal uh... regulators
to make sure that date were in compliance with uh... safety rules and regulations
finally
uh... somebody's on the job try to make sure that people don't die and minds
so eight out of the fifty seven were massey energy minds of course messy energy on the
upper big branch mine
we're twenty nine minus recently died
one of the mindset was uh... rated was of mine in two thousand six
where they have safety violations they ignored them ignore them and then to people uh...
burned alive
inside the mind
right now
since the mining disasters happen by the way i'm sure massey energies
clean up its act right
over the last couple weeks they've had dozens of safety violations and fines
and they continue to fight them
and they continue not to fix that
their on
real
and the problem is in that area
as for the it great story in washington independent
indicates
they'll almost all the mines within that stretch of river
so if you live in that area
and you wanted therapy no speak up and say the eighty s at massey energy was hail it
as a safety problem here is that a
but you're gone you're fired eat a good job anywhere else
we're family works
so now that leaves the second part of that washington depended story
well these classic guys at massey energy
uh...
win uh... people wanted to take time off to visit
their friends who were in the hospital who got hurt during the mine disaster
the supervisors for the mail
you cannot go get back on the job if you need to go to the hospital unified
there's some women came to lay a wreath f for those who had passed away in the month
utility curries go home
you know a lot to hang out here
because he north it'll go away
it'll be like those twenty nine people just didn't dot
dvd that's bad
the people that work at the mine
wanna take some of them
wanna take time off ten the funerals of their friends who died in that mine
denied
now you can't go if you go to your friends you know you're fired
is their evil in the world i don't know adam ag i think it's
i don't believe in the concept but i do believe some people are so grotesquely selfish
they don't give it game about anybody else as long as they can make just a couple more
dollars
and you wanna call that evil are called something else but
either way sickening it's repulsive
like a ship makes the c_e_o_ of massey energy
anywhere between twenty four to thirty million dollars a year
his private helicopter
uh... jets etcetera
because million dollar process for anna's friend sean hannity
uh... et cetera
and our into union rallies is spend money
he does by spending money on his helicopter
here's my spending
money on his
uh... rallies with his best right wing bodies
hey kissling take off a little time from work so go to the funeral one other best friends
who died in your mind i'll get back to work
in the middle of all this conserves will continue to argue
no don't worry
just trust the corporations
they have your best interest in
look i'm not saying get rid of the corporations i'm not saying get rid of capitalism not by
a longshot after all the best i still believe in chapel is
but it has to be regulated
i believe in basketball but i know it has some rap cynical i think that putting a
it's people if somebody celeste all the rest of the basketball or football or any support
and your guys that are you ready basketball
it doesn't make any sense
and here at these guys
crushes
workers and uh... that would be
and make sure that they didn't have unions in a fast
if you have a safety violation you're allowed to reported i watched independent talk to
people who used to work the massive mines
if you want to keep the job you shut up and you didn't report anything about safety violations
he certainly didn't talk to the press to talk to two or three people use the word at massey
energy they all said the same thing
and what is massing due on top of this is the part that really drives me crazy
not because of what they do go because of the reaction of some of their workers
they say hey if your tough coal miner from west virginia
you'll never complain
if you're gonna blow up you don't complain
if you have their city bonds your complaint
you just take it you get burned alive or you blow up
and dot blankets that makes a couple extra dollars you beat offered no complaint
and then they get some of those poor folks to buy into it story talks about how some
people love the company so much they fly the massive flag over their house
they mow the lawn in their massey
uniform
because they're profit
c_n_n_'s jamie happ
as if they give a there about you you died in a mine
they won't let anybody go your funeral either
but dunblane to ship has that is private jets
because he's really top right
and then began in the story
mine owners say it all you've got no is there a way they don't write about it or a business
they should let the free market work
that the cold war for let me keep abusing my workers ignoring all the laws
and just keep making as much money as i can
while everybody else offers
now we need to rests weenie rules
regulators we need in four six
