Has he ever really spoke about things he knows, or is he just another snakeoil salesman mixing a little truth or facts with his lies and opinions. His listeners get with they deserve – misinformation and propaganda.
Was there no union responsibility for improving mine safety? Where was the union here? Where was the union? The union is generally holding these companies up demanding all kinds of safety. Why were these miners continuing to work in what apparently was an unsafe atmosphere?

In 2005, Blankenship wrote a memo to employees telling them that maximizing coal production was more important than spending time constructing things like support beams or ventilation shafts:[37]
"If any of you have been asked by your group presidents, your supervisors, engineers or anyone else to do anything other than run coal (i.e., build overcasts, do construction jobs, or whatever) you need to ignore them and run coal." Don Blankenship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

what does union or non union have to do with all the saftey laws in place ever heard of OSHA? where were they? the owners and OSHA will have some splaining to do but accidents do happen. to early to be placing blame, if there is any.with all the deaths on our roads every year this is small. were they all non union drivers and passengers?
LOL. The Union was in their offices counting all the money they collected in union dues. That is the real business they are in.

I am laughing at people expecting the unions to really look out for the people they collect money from. Unions have a history of going into bed with companies.
