YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump promised to save the coal industry, but his administration's rollback of safety regulations has left workers battling a severe resurgence of Black Lung disease.
In this video, we expose how the MAGA agenda prioritized corporate profits over worker safety, specifically regarding silica dust protections. We look at why coal miners in West Virginia and beyond are finally turning on Trump after realizing they were used as political props. This is a direct look at the consequences of deregulation and the betrayal of the American working class.
In this video, we cover:
-The Trump Administration's rollback of silica dust safety standards.
-The rise of Black Lung cases in coal country.
-Why miners are protesting in Washington D.C.
-The hypocrisy of right-wing populism regarding labor rights.
