On 1 July, Missy Cole was notified by her bank that her husband’s most recent paycheck had bounced, leaving their account more than $1,000 in the red. Her husband had worked as a coal miner for nearly three years at one of the eastern Kentucky mines operated by Revelation Energy affiliate Black Jewel mining.
But both companies had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, a financial move that has implications far beyond just laying off staff as the ex-workers now wait for the bankruptcy proceedings to play out. Critics say the move is a ploy increasingly used in the struggling industry to avoid paying workers what they are owed.
“A layoff is always expected with miners. It’s always in the back of your mind and it’s no surprise when it happens in the coal industry. But, this is much more than a layoff,” Cole told the Guardian.

Trump lied about coal to get miners votes. Remember when he talked about "beautiful clean coal"? Trump says anything he thinks will gain him votes. He promised mines would come back and more miners would be hired. His staff knew better. Trump would never take the effort to learn facts. Miners are just another group to be used.

I know right?
suddenly liberal moonbats care of the plight of our coal miners, when yesterday they call them hillbillies with no education.
If I was a liberal in this country I'd keep my views to myself, it must be embarrassing to their children to watch them walk around in such a confused state of triggered sadness

The Mueller Report indicates that as a part of Russian efforts to get Donald Trump elected, they used a picture of a staunch Democrat to create a fake movement called "Miners For Trump."

"We are putting our great coal miners back to work," he repeated to rally crowds waving "Trump Digs Coal" signs. "I'm coal's last shot."
…..more coal-fired power plants have been deactivated in Trump's first two years in office then in Obama's entire first term. When asked about the President's claim to be the savior of coal, veteran miner and industry consultant Art Sullivan bristles.
