[quote=Ruffn][I said anyone who needed a rep to get a job or keep it was stupid or lazy. That’s only a percentage but when a compulsive US Steel can’t fire them we that the description fits and over the years just keeps moving them to paid positions “out of the way” eventually that brings overwhelming cost
The folks who were ok with actually working and doing a job start realizing they don’t have to anymore to keep a job so why bother
Yeah, it’s destroyed the workforce
US Steel doesn't own any coal mines now. They sold their mine to some of those rich investors I've referred to and the mine is still in operation with a workforce that hasn't been destroyed.
TCI/US Steel owned the mine for decades and since the mine sold it has changed hands numerous times. It isn't connected to the mines in Brookwood that we're talking about except for being in the same coal seam. The mine is still operating. The union hasn't destroyed it.
