VIEWS OF THE MINORITY ON S. 1114 (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | However, S. 1114 would do nothing to improve the representation of smaller mines, as opposed to larger mines, in MSHA rulemaking. |
 | | The procedures mandated by S. 1114 would be inappropriate for the mining industry, duplicative, counterproductive, bureaucratic, centralized, wasteful, dilatory, and detrimental to the safety and health of American miners. |
 | | The Majority concedes that S. 1114 would give over 95 percent of the mining industry preferential consideration in MSHA rulemaking, but argues that this is appropriate because mining companies are almost all small businesses and are the ones most affected by MSHA regulations. |
