UMWA boss Roberts in another war of words with Massey Energy

摘要

A proposal by a Massey Energy subsidiary to hire non-English speaking workers from Mexico to fully staff a mine in Eastern Kentucky because the company says there is a lowered work ethic and rampant drug abuse among workers in the region is "simply outrageous," United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts said. "This is the equivalent of an obscene gesture from Massey to every working man and woman in Eastern Kentucky and Southern West Virginia," Roberts said. "It says a lot about what Massey thinks about the people who live and work there."
