Miners to protest again at Peabody headquarters - St. Louis Business Journal:


 "Members of the United Mine Workers of America plan to march at Peabody Energy’s headquarters in downtown St. Louis on Tuesday, their third such protest in recent weeks.

Hundreds of active and retired coal miners plan to march from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on 10th Street to Peabody’s headquarters at 701 Market St., beginning at 10 a.m.

They say they are protesting “the scheme by executives of Peabody and Arch Coal to avoid payment of their health care obligations by creating a subsidiary – Patriot Coal – that was designed to fail.”"
