U.M.W.A. President Voices Opinion Of W. Va. Supreme Court Ruling
Cecil Roberts, President of the United Mine Workers of America, says he's bitterly disappointed with the West Virginia Supreme Court decision to throw out a $50 million Boone County verdict against Massey Energy in the case of Caperton v Massey. Roberts says it's beyond comprehension how a majority, (4-1 vote) of justices failed to see the harm done when miners lost their jobs, making the case go much deeper than Harman Mining, while causing and continuing to cause suffering to miners who lost their jobs, their health care and their hopes for the future.
