Subject: Tell the DOJ: Hold Massey executives accountable
Dear Friend,Yesterday, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) announced that Massey Energy "could and should have prevented" the tragic explosion last April at their Upper Big Branch coal mine in West Virginia that killed 29 workers.
And even worse, Massey management may have sought to systematically conceal known mine hazards to government safety officials
MSHA reported that Massey maintained two sets of safety records. One set was used internally and contained known safety hazards and their impact on coal production. But the second 'official' set, which is reviewed by mine safety inspectors - as well as miners before every shift -- didn't mention many of these safety hazards.
Not recording known safety hazards is a potential criminal violation and the Justice Department is engaged in ongoing investigation. If Massey officials sought to mislead officials, they must be held criminally responsible.
