Federal budget cut realities - what goes away
-
Thought I'd create a thread for posting what we are losing with DOGE's budget cuts.
NIOSH cuts.
In West Virginia's coal country, Marion Tennant says he was destined to work in the mines.
"That was the only thing in this area when I graduated high school," Tennant said.
That was in 1974, when Tennant was protected by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, or NIOSH.
For decades it offered free screenings for black lung, a chronic disease caused by prolonged exposure to coal dust. But the screenings have stopped because of President Trump's mandated budget cuts.s://www.cbsnews.com/news/west-virginia-coal-miners-lose-black-lung-screenings-trump-slashes-worker-safety-agency-niosh/
