Active and retired members of the United Mine Workers of America, along with labor and community supporters, will protest in front of Peabody Energy headquarters on Tuesday morning, Aug. 13.

"We are in ongoing talks with Patriot Coal to lessen the impact of severe cutbacks on active and retired miners, but nobody should forget who really caused this problem," said UMWA President Cecil Roberts in a prepared statement. "Executives at Peabody Energy created Patriot, they failed to give it enough assets to meet its obligations, and we're not going to sit idly by and let miners and their families pay the price for their failure."
