Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), who heads the workforce protections subpanel, state they’ll hold hearings “at the appropriate time.”
“„Over the past few years, we have met too many family members who have suffered the tragic loss of loved ones in a mine disaster. On behalf of the committee, we promised them that we would do everything we could to learn the cause of these tragedies and to keep miners safe. Today, we extend this same promise to the families and community dealing with a devastating loss.
Considering the long list of violationscited at the Upper Big Branch mine, there should be plenty to talk about.
