Permanent Injunction Issued Against CAM Mining
{Kentucky}...Friday, U.S. District Judge Amul Thapar issued a permanent injunction against CAM Mining's No. 28 mine in Pike County ordering the company not to warn underground workers in advance of safety inspections. The U.S. Department of Labor had requested the action after attempting an inspection at the mine in mid-June after federal inspectors had received reports that miners were smoking in the mine, which has a history of methane gas leaks. Inspectors said underground workers were tipped off to their presence when they arrived. Thapar's order says workers at the mine must be trained on the requirements of the order within 30 days.
