			<description>Carole Bass wrote a piece complete with video of an apparent resurgence in black lung disease among U.S. coal miners.  Though the cause is not certain, some theories have been proposed.  One is that miners are working more hours than they did 20 years ago -- 12- and 16-hour shifts, and 60-hour weeks.  The second is that most of the coal that's left in Appalachia is in &quot;thin seams&quot; -- 28 inches or less -- and mining thin-seam coal requires taking up a lot of rock with the coal.

			<description>I work and live in PA, I work for a hotel.  Some months back we discovered we had a bedbug infestation.  For the first month the owners did nothing, but try to tell us they were ticks.  They very briefly had a professional exterminator come in (they treated only two rooms) then the owners decided to try the treat it yourself approach to this problem.  Now more than six months later the infestation is still going strong and they seem unconcerned about the employee &quot;safety&quot;.
