MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 30, 1930: Three thousand workers, mostly African-American, began construction on the Hawks Nest Tunnel in West Virginia. The employer cut costs by failing to provide safety equipment. Additionally, bosses forced the men to work 10-15-hour days, often at gunpoint, without breaks and without masks to protect themselves from the silicon dust. Consequently, hundreds of workers died of silicosis. Possibly over 1,000 people, one-third of the entire workforce, died from silicosis, in one of America’s worst cases of mass workplace mortality.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workplaceinjury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workplaceinjury</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkplaceDeaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WorkplaceDeaths</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HawksNest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HawksNest</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/silicosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#silicosis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forcedlabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#forcedlabor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/slavery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#slavery</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PPE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PPE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/africanamerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#africanamerican</a>
