Maybe there are two points here. Make the mines safer or shut them down. That could be done by a strike, class action lawsuit or petitioning the fed to do their $@#* job.
And what do the families do to survive now that their providers are gone? Do they work the mine themselves, get other jobs in a repressed mining community, take a chance on suing, maybe winning, and racking up huge lawyer bills in the process, or take 3 million (more money than any of them would ever see in their whole lives) and live comfortably.
Why couldn't they do both? Add their voices to others to push for change and take the money just like it was a life insurance policy. That way the owner has to pay all the families many millions plus he's forced to make the needed changes.
