In recent months Blackjewel LLC has filed bankruptcy and after paying men for hours worked, stopped payment on those checks  clawing  back the pay of hundreds of miners. Many of these men were on vacation when they learned that the checks they had written for  mortgage payments and car payments did not clear the bank and their accounts were now over drafted thousands of dollars. These men were not given a warning and not put on lay-off but simply abandoned. When the company tried to bring the coal out that these men had risk their lives to mine after the bankruptcy claim, five men stood on the track to block the train until they are paid. Two months later, the coal is still on the track, the men have yet to be paid...
To the left is our organizations numbers alone. Our Community and so many others have rallied together to meet the immediate needs of these families.
These men are still waiting, still holding out hope that justice will prevail and they will be paid for the work completed. Until there is a resolve they struggle, struggle to meet bills, to put food on the table and provide medical necessities to their families.  If you would like to donate, please use the link below or visit our Facebook page.
