Kentucky mine workers protest company's cuts to employee healthcare

Kentucky mine workers, still outraged over a recent court ruling that will cancel health benefits for thousands of miners and retirees, are planning another strike this week. A federal bankruptcy court granted Horizon Natural Resources request to void its contracts with the United Mine Workers. A two day-protest is planned to start today and continue until tomorrow outside of the courtroom where the judge is scheduled to confirm the sale of Horizon. The mine workers union plans to appeal the ruling.
