Coal miners end rail blockade in Kentucky

摘要

Miners attempting to stop US coal producer Blackjewel from moving coal from a closed mine in Kentucky have ended a nearly two-month train blockade. “The guys that were protesting naturally had to get new jobs,” said Charles Raleigh, the mayor of Cumberland, Kentucky, which is about two miles from Blackjewel’s Harlan County coal complex. “The people available to protest dwindled down to just a few.”
