Kentucky coal miners who began blocking the tracks of a train in late July after the company they worked for filed for bankruptcy have ended their protest, Cumberland Mayor Charles Raleigh says
The sudden bankruptcy filing July 1 by mine operator Blackjewel left hundreds of workers without pay. Some of the former employees began their blockade of the coal train after it arrived on Blackjewel property in late July.While the protest is over, the fight for lost jobs and wages will continue in bankruptcy court, Raleigh said. "The miners stayed the course, but had to find other work to provide for their families," Raleigh told CNN.
The checks went to community assistance groups in Harlan and in other mining communities affected by the bankruptcy.A former coal tycoon donated over $1 million to coal miners whose employer declared bankruptcy Raleigh said the Harlan miners ended their protest on their own terms."The system failed these men, there should be people held accountable for not assuring that laws in place were not followed," Raleigh said.
