National Today Wednesday December 6 2023 * National Miners Day *
by Paul Wed 06 Dec 2023, 5:20 am
National Miners Day
They have one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs you can imagine.
Despite federal efforts to ensure safe working conditions for miners, they have one of the most difficult and dangerous jobs you can imagine. To recognize their efforts, Congress has declared December 6 National Miners Day. Why? Our entire economy depends on them. On this holiday, we should all take a moment to think about the many ways that miners play a role in our daily lives. Mined materials contribute to things like roads, houses, cars and computers. We wouldn’t be able to get much done without their hard work.
[list="holiday-list holiday-list-celebrate"][*]
The Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration develops videos and blog posts to shine light on this occupation. Discover all that miners accomplish.
[*]
Whether it's quartz in Massachusetts or gold in California, find out what miners are working on in your state. You may be surprised!
[*]
Think about all of the daily luxuries we have that depend on mining. From our cell phones, to the pots and pans we cook with, so much depends on America's miners.

[list=holiday-listicle__list][*]
This documentary uncovers the violent strike between miners and owners in rural Kentucky.
[*]
This story shows the tough life of working in the pit, the role of trade unions, and how labor-based professions struggle in a corporate-ruled economy.
[*]
Based on a true story, watch nine miners struggle for survival after being trapped underground.
[*]
This drama begins with a deadly mining accident and unfolds in a series of unfortunate circumstances for the miners and their families.
[*]
A single mother — and one of the first women at an iron mine in Minnesota — Josey Aimes (played by Charlize Theron), depicts the challenges of working in a male-dominated industry and goes on to file a landmark sexual harassment suit.

[list="holiday-list holiday-list-loveit"][*]
Miners extract our natural resources — literally making it possible for us to enjoy the comforts of modern life. They have a challenging job, so let's take some time to think about all they do.
[*]
America's one of the world’s largest producers (and consumers) of mineral products. For example, the U.S. produces huge quantities of coal, iron ore, copper, phosphate rock, and zinc. The economic opportunities and wealth generated by mining are substantial.
[*]
It's not easy! Potential dangers for coal miners include suffocation, gas poisoning, roof collapse, rock burst, and gas explosions.
