CONSOL Reduces Work Force
WEST VIRGINIA...
Consol Energy's restructuring plan will put 157 people out of work at the company's Fola Coal operations in Clay County, West Virginia. The changes take effect Monday, after most of the mining equipment at the Fola surface operations is moved to the Ike's Fork portions of the mine site. About 300 workers in those operations will keep their jobs under the restructuring, which was announced by the Pittsburgh-based company Friday evening. Consol previously had notified more than 480 miners that they could be laid off this month because a mining permit for Ike Fork had been suspended. A judge later reinstated the permit.
