Senate fights over black lung benefit bill HR 10760
Intensive lobbying by United Mine Workers pushes HR 10760 to broaden black lung benefits now in the Senate. The measure would shift future claim costs to the coal industry with a coal royalty funding benefits for workers with 25 years hard coal or 30 years soft coal experience regardless of disease, raising coal and heating costs. The House passed 210-183 but a presidential veto is anticipated.
