The Department of Labor has issued a statement giving its interpretation of a provision in the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 which grants ''walkaround rights'' to miners' representatives during a mine inspection or conference. The provision--Section 103(f) of the Act--specifically gives both a representative of miners and a representative of the mine operator the opportunity to accompany a MSHA inspector during physical inspection of a mine and to take part in pre- or post-inspection conferences at the mine. If a miners' representative also is a mine employee, he must suffer no pay loss for the inspection period. The article gives a number of definitions, exceptions for various reasons, and the inspector's responsibility and authority in various possible situations.
