I don’t have a whole lot of knowledge of the mining industry, so when in doubt, I turn to Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette-Mail. Ward’s article on Zatezelo’s appointment notes that “In 2010 and 2011, Zatezalo was a top executive with Rhino when the company had a series of run-ins with MSHA over safety and health conditions at mines in West Virginia and Kentucky during a period when then-MSHA chief Joe Main was ramping up agency enforcement following the Upper Branch disaster.”
