Haulers training outreach faces driver resistance
The PSC sent letters to over 300 drivers from the Office of Miners Health Safety and Training records urging attendance at free training in Oak Hill Welch and Danville through April 2005. After that the courses cost 150 dollars. Browning says many drivers avoid the program, hoping to rely on two years of experience to skip training, though no penalty exists for noncompliance.

PSC notes coal truck safety complaints and training delay concerns
OO Browning warned that drivers delay training to gain two years of experience before it is required by law. The PSC reported 80 coal truck safety complaints on a 15 county road system between April and July, plus 35 weight-violation notices. Three came from traffic citations and 28 from the new electronic reporting system tracking coal trucks from fill to unload, with four for failing to report electronically. The data helps target enforcement in problem areas, said Buddy Covert.

Court ruling may strip miners of medical benefits
In Pikeville Kentucky UMBa protests erupted after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge William Howard ruled Horizon Natural Resources need not honor union contracts that guaranteed health care and retirement benefits for about 1 000 active miners and 2 300 retirees. UMWA chief Cecil Roberts denounced the decision as a travesty and urged reform of bankruptcy laws while Horizon weighed potential appeals and possible sale of nonunion assets amid auction plans for August 17 in Cincinnati.
