Alpha Natural warns 1100 WV workers of mine idling
Alpha Natural Resources issued WARN notices to about 1,100 employees at 11 West Virginia surface mines and related facilities that idling is expected by mid October. The action follows sustained weak market demand and government regulations, with mines across Logan, Mingo, Raleigh, Boone, Kanawha and Fayette Counties slated to reduce operations. No immediate layoffs, but reductions planned as demand and prices remain depressed. The announcement notes no impact to the Coalfields Expressway public-private partnership with the Virginia DOT.
