Miners upset over CEO memo - wkyt.com
PIKEVILLE, Ky. -- A memo written by Massey Energy CEO Don Blankenship telling supervisors that 'coal pays the bills' is drawing fire from coal miners, who say the company is putting profits before safety.
The memo, dated Oct. 19, Blankenship tells the company's deep mine superintendents that running coal is the top priority in the mines.
'If any of you have been asked by your group presidents, your supervisors, engineers or anyone else to do anything other than run coal (i.e. build overcasts, do construction jobs, or whatever) you need to ignore them and run coal. This memo is necessary only because we seem not to understand that the coal pays the bills,' Blankenship wrote in a memo reported Friday by the Appalachian News-Express.------------------------------------------- posted 7:24 AM :: reference link ::
