Law Judge Rules In Favor Of Letcher County Miner
KENTUCKY...
Letcher County Administrative Law Judge T. Todd Hodgdon ruled this week that a coal company improperly disciplined Letcher County miner Charles Scott Howard who used a video camera to document leaking seals at Cumberland River Coal Co. Band Mill No. 2 mine and played the video for officials at a meeting in Lexington in July 2007. Hodgdon ordered Cumberland River, a division of Arch Coal, to expunge all references to a discipline letter from his file; reimburse Howard for costs associated with his complaint, including attorney fees; and post the decision at all its mining properties in Letcher County for 60 days.
