a Roof bolter, the mines is still extremely tough place to work, most mines around here are non-union an You have to get to it an stay on the ball or start looking for another job, He is in execellent shape, strong as a bear, reminds me of someone You see in the MMA fighting in a cage match.

I ve worked both union an non-union jobs, an been treated by management better in some non-union mines than union mines

I put 15 yrs in the coal mines, last 10 yrs I would come out soaked to the hip every shift, where water would built up in the face an while standing in it it would absorp in your overalls an slowly creep up, like a lantern wick, a Dr once told me He was 65 yrs old a never had no arthritic pain, I Ask him just how strenious is your job, compared to the coal miner.

I was in the mines, a freind came down with chemical cyrociss of the liver, He went an found every chemical he was in contact on the job, the closest thing He found was a hi voltage cleaner that contained 127 different agents, an it stated on the label that for the use it required respitory wear an rubber gloves, neither was provided nor expained to any electrican that used this product weekly.

I used to be a safety committeeman, an after leaving the union I ve seen many changes that are nothing but sucidial plans, the use of blower ventilation which in case of mine fire would blow noxious or poison fumes directly on miners, the mine that fell in in Colorado I believe where they where extracting pillars between two longwall panels that where already mined out , that was pure sucide an the federal inspector that approved that plan lost his life, they as far as I know they never recovered the bodies from the 1st cave-in an there where one or two people died trying to rescue them.

what I deem a miracle is the story of the Pennsyvania coal miners that cut into a giant underground reseivoir whether it was a abandon mine I can t remember, the mine flooded the crew was cut-off from the outside, the water drained to the surface thru the entrance an there was high ground an air pocket in the face, those miners were extremely lucky , if it was a adbandon mine there is black damp or air that contains less oxygen in the atmosphere to survive, they survived for 3 days or more an they took an drilled a 36 inch an extracted them with a one man cage, an its the only one in existence in the whole USA, the federal goverment an the mining industry should have one extraction unit within 500 miles of any mine.

after working in the mines for over a decade, I know there is some rockdust or blacklung in my body but the proof of getting the evidence is a money rackeet  itself, some programs are based on a 5 year period.

HTMOM: that is difinite lead he has a swimming pool , He moved into a new house an has handled chemicals to shock the pool that more than likely contains copper sulfates, He is highly allergic to hayfever, an according to the info I ve found on the internet copper sulfates are dangerous in parts per million in water.

I THANK YOU for this lead, Woodstock

had 300 plus workers, 10 were women, We had a methane explosion an 1 woman lost her life along with 6 other men, there where 2 survivors from that working section, the only thing that stopped the fireball was a long deep waterhole that was kicked up an extingushed the flames as it ran thru that section of the mine.

the Pennsyvania story , was made in a TVmovie.

yes the women that worked at Our mine, were tough an pulled their weight.

its are to tell what the vibration an sound effects on the body, the noise is more of a nuisance than the vibration, the machine is stabalized by stab jacks an the T-bar roof support absorbs 99% of the vibration.
