Mine Workers Chief Nabbed at Site of Coal Slurry Spill
Quote
United Mine Workers president Cecil Roberts was one of 11 people arrested Thursday at the site of a huge coal sludge spill as they demonstrated against the environmental performance of Massey Energy.

Nearly 200 union members paced outside the gates of Martin County Coal, the Massey subsidiary whose impoundment failure 18 months ago sent an estimated 306 million gallons of water and black coal slurry into the Big Sandy River and its tributaries.
