## Resource

More than 80 years ago, U.S. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins identified silica dust as a deadly hazard. Finally, this past April 16, MSHA, through the Department of Labor, issued a final rule reducing silica dust exposure to better protect America's miners. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, known as OSHA, also clarified a rule in another major victory for workers this month to ensure workers are able to choose their own representative to join OSHA agents during workplace inspections. Today, we're talking with two USW health and safety experts about both of these new rules' impacts and how the union has been fighting nonstop to keep workers safe, and will continue to do so in the future. Music in this episode is by Ketsa.
