New Elk Coal
I don't know who this coalmnr is but I think he has a VERY strong tie to the mine. How could anybody work for that mine. You can't trust anyone that still works there. I have been told that the theft is bad there. The management lies and doesn't stand behind the contracts that have been given to the workers. That mine needs to get rid of the top people there and bring in someone that knows mining. Why would anyone work for a company that has a spot contract for a 1000 tons. Sounds like another smoke and mirrors or just more money to get the workforce there for one more year. That mine lost some of the best miners around compared to the ones there trying to run that mine. They are the bottom of the barrel miners compared to what was there at one time. Watch out for this mine!!!!!

Coalmnr, I totally understand what you say. There are some good miners there still. It's the upper management that has to move on. The lies and stealing has to stop. I know for a fact that there is a lot of reserves at this mine. If they would start over and get new management I would love to see this mine be successful. Until that happens it's a bad place to be.
