This resolution designates December 6, 2025, as "National Miners Day" to honor the contributions and sacrifices of miners throughout U.S. history. The resolution recognizes that miners have played a crucial role in making America economically strong and militarily secure, while acknowledging the dangerous nature of their work and their ongoing struggles for health and safety protections. The date was chosen to commemorate the Monongah, West Virginia mining tragedy of December 6, 1907, which killed more people than any other industrial accident in U.S. history and sparked national efforts to improve miner safety. The resolution affects all Americans by encouraging them to participate in activities that celebrate and honor miners' contributions to the nation. As a simple resolution designating a commemorative day, it requires no funding and was passed by the Senate on December 11, 2025.
