Former Massey worker says he quit because of ‘poor’ conditions in mine
By Jim Snyder - 04/27/10 07:08 PM ET

A former Massey Energy Co. employee told a Senate panel Tuesday that he quit because he was “scared” the mines he worked in were unsafe.


“In the end, I quit my job with Massey because I couldn’t take the poor conditions in the mine,” Jeffrey Harris told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. “I am here to tell you about some of the things I know from my time working at Massey mines, things aren’t right and which shouldn’t be allowed to continue.”

The hearing was the first to specifically examine mine-safety laws after an explosion at Upper Big Branch in Montcoal, W. Va., killed 29 miners, the worst mine disaster in four decades.

An investigation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is ongoing, but federal investigators and outside experts have focused on Massey’s history of safety violations at the mine.
