I have helped defend claims brought by coal miners against their employers, and, while I obviously am restrained from giving specifics, a number of the miners were not without skills that would permit them to work in mines, yet they persisted in working in mines.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me that people with skills that would permit them to work in mines, work in mines.
Oh, sorry, other poster pointed out my error, lol

Was typing on phone

? Ok. See the post to which I was replying.

Do you perhaps mean that the miners were not without skills that would permit them to work other than in mines, but persisted in working in mines?

Yeah, haha, thanks for correcting.

E.g. some ppl are electricians, but opt to work in mines (presumably for higher pay, but IDK)
