Kentucky Coal Miners Continue Blockade Protest In Harlan County

CUMBERLAND, KENTUCKY - AUGUST 22: Train cars loaded with coal sit on the tracks at a Blackjewel mining operation on August 22, 2019 in Cumberland, Kentucky. A group of coal miners blockaded the tracks and prevented the train from leaving the mine after Blackjewel filed for bankruptcy, ceased operation and payed the miners their final pay with bad checks. The shutdown left more than 300 miners in Harlan County with no jobs and owed payment for three weeks of work. They have vowed to continue their blockade of the tracks until they are paid their wages. The blockade, which is in its 25th day, has received a local and national outpouring of support.
