MSHA Sues Kentucky Mines
KENTUCKY....
The Mine Safety and Health Administration said Thursday it has sued two Kentucky mining operations for tipping off workers that federal inspectors were on their property. MSHA says it issued more than 1,300 citations during a five-day inspection blitz following the April 5th explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine. Regulators temporarily closed six of those underground mines.
