Of course, context can still matter. If you respond to a post you don't like by beginning "Jane, you ignorant slut," it may imply a want of chastity on Jane's part. But you have a good chance of convincing a court this was mere:

not a false statement of fact.

There was a company that had a really good situation with another company.

But there was a 4 problems.....

1. They had another company that could inspect them at any given point in time...

2. The company being inspected had people that were employed with them and these people might expose them for what they were .

3. If this was found out there would be 2 companies involved.

4. What if the inspecting company had someting to hide???

                                               hmmmm 


                                          You take it from there...

105(c) Investigation and Processing of Discrimination Complaints Under the provisions of Section 105(c)(1) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act (Mine Act), ....

miners, representatives of miners and applicants for employment are protected from retaliation for engaging in safety and/or health related activities, such as identifying hazards, asking for MSHA inspections, or refusing to engage in an unsafe act.

(My guess is that this means:)

To encourage miners to exercise their rights under the Mine Act and maximize their involvement in monitoring safety and health conditions,

(So this is for what????)

MSHA vigorously investigates discrimination complaints. Particular attention is given to those operators who have repeatedly discriminated against miners.

(So I guess if there are several complaints mabey 2 or 4 or 20 or ????)

MSHA will seek more substantial civil penalties for discrimination violations as a deterrent to future instances of illegal discrimination.



(c)(1) No person shall discharge or in any manner discriminate against or cause to be discharged or cause discrimination against or otherwise interfere with the exercise of the statutory rights of any miner, representative of miners or applicant for employment in any coal or other mine subject to this Act because such miner, representative of miners or applicant for employment has filed or made a complaint under or related to this Act, including a complaint notifying the operator or the operator's agent, or the representative of the miners at the coal or other mine of an alleged danger or safety or health violation in a coal or other mine, or because such miner, representative of miners or applicant for employment is the subject of medical evaluations and potential transfer under a standard published pursuant to section 101 or because such miner, representative of miners or applicant for employment has instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to this Act or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding, or because of the exercise by such miner, representative of miners or applicant for employment on behalf of himself or others of any statutory right afforded by this Act.


                              

This is my story. This is my attempt to provide what I thought was a safe and healthy work enviroment for my fellow workers. 

                           This was just the start of my nightmare!!!!

After working at this company for about a year I developed a cough.
I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I don't even drink adult beverages..........

I worked in an open pit mine which means we dig a big hole in the ground and extract the ore. There is a anomaly that is little known and actually there has not been much research involving open pit mining because it only involves regions that have very cold climates. This anomaly is an inversion, cold air settles at lower elevations, and is trapped there by a layer of warmer air above. This also traps thousands of pounds of air pollutants. I will explain what these pollutants are later.
After being told for years that the air tested ok and it was safe to work this cough kept persistant and we complained to our supervisors over and over with nothing but  insistance that the air was safe.

12/15/2003 there was a miner that came to the shop with a complaint of being sick. They took him to the hospital and he was tested and found to have carbon monoxide poisoning........

Well one thing led to another and this is the start of my nightmare......

Once the  investigation started the truth came out that they never had the proper testing equipment. I know for sure they had only a faulty O₂ testing device and it didn't work because when you purge a fuel tank that is going to have a welding repair you need to know that any presence of O₂ has to be absent.
Of course I used the testing device that security provided me like a good employ.
I always complained that the contents of the tank being tested would show that it was capable of supporting human life.....
The test device said there was enough O₂ to survive... 21%+

According to psu.edu the lowest % Volume of O₂ a person can survive at standard pressure is about 17.5%.

This device said it was ok to enter the tank............
I knew that was incorrect. So I went and repaired the tank like a little sheep and hoped that it didn't blow up and I would loose my life.... or my friends life or at least my job....

I was concerned!!!!!!!! That actually safety was not more precious than gold....

Another miner told me about a position that we could apply for called:

                                        Representative of Miners????

We searched MSHA and found the info we needed so we applied for this position.

                         We thought that we could protect our fellow workers.....

                                                          WE THOUGHT!!!!
