Murray Energy is one of the largest coal companies in America, their bankruptcy has without a doubt put both current employees, & retired miners on edge As this continues to play out, our office's number 1 priority will be preserving jobs & finding a solution for miners' pensions
We hope that as Murray Energy works to find a solution that will allow them to continue to operate, they remember that thousands of people depend on them for their livelihoods
