Retired coal miners rallied in Washington, DC, last Tuesday to demand enforcement of a federal silica exposure rule blocked by the Trump administration. The protesters, numbering around 80, highlighted the rule's absence as a deadly threat to miners suffering from black lung disease. Union leaders and advocates called on President Trump to act, decrying the delay as a betrayal of workers.
