WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, applauded yesterday’s unanimous U.S. Senate confirmation of Joe Main as the next Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health. “I congratulate Joe Main’s unanimous Senate confirmation as the next head of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.  Main will be a tireless advocate for the health and safety of America’s miners and bring a needed jumpstart to an agency that suffered from years of neglect.
