215 Larry RolisonINUSTHe law now permits big companies ,smart accountants,worthless lawyers a way to get rich quick at "MY EXPENSE'.
216 MichaelSmithILUSI worked for Old Ben, Zeigler, a few in between, and Horizon. These are all the same company. Get the picture. They're like roaches, they'll find a way. We as combined union labor must stop these greedy people.

218 LarryPerkinsKYUSThis Horizon bankruptcy injustice must be corrected
219 RichardEddyWVUSI believe it is a shame that our goverment has allowed these companies escape a negoiated lifetime committment to assure that our seniors will be provided healthcare and retirement benefits. It is time that we all stand up and tell our goverment that enough is enough.
220 RichardMincheffILUSKeep fighting for the rights of the workers and retirees. We have earned these rights; we are not asking for a handout, just what we have earned.

222 DavidHowardKYUSIam a retired/dissabled U.M.W.A. member. It is not right for any company to file bankruptcy,sell the company off and then tell it's workers,sorry you no longer have a job or benefits after giving them your blood sweat and livelyhood.
223 orvillesloneTNUSthese companies made money all the time they were in operation.. they used loopholes to disperse of the money that they made...leaving us umwa miners unprotected thanks for your help in advance.
224 RalphBoltWVUSI was laid -off by a company which transferred theit assets to another company which now denies me the access to a health card through the UMWA retitement plan. I signed-up for this card two years ago when I took a voluntary retirement at age 55. I have 25 years active duty as an UMWA dues paying member. Why are these companies allowed to get by with this?
225 DonniePatrickINUSI support the petition to change the bankruptcy laws!
226 Geraldine VarnerWVUSMy husband and I are on a pension from his 35 yrs in the coal mine and I would hate to see us or anyone else lose it. Why would you work for a pension just to have it taken away. You put in the years because of the pension for your old age.

237 KayPreeceKYUS
238 DannyPreeceKYUSI think they need to replace that paticular Judge that made the ruling against these poor retired people. A law needs to be inacted so that this will never happen again. That Judge that made the ruling should be responsible for all miners benefits.
239 JamesFlemingKYUSHi,I am very upset about it. I got 23 years in the mines. I been retired for 5 years,my health is going down. This is the time I need it and losted all. I cannot afford to buy health care!!! Help

243 wadetaylorVAUSIt not right to take away men and woman health and retirement benefits they worked all their lifes for we will be watching how you vote and see you at the polls.

245 Carlos DeanWoodyILUSI worked 23 years in UMWA coal mines, got laid off in 1993 because of the Clean Air Act, took early retirement at 55, in 1996 in order to have my medical benefits for me and my wife. They said I didn't have black lung or asbestos lung, but I finally got Social Security Benefit for asthma. I have arthritis real bad and can't work. My wife is also in bad health, has arthritis real bad, going to have complete hip replacement. Together we take 20 prescriptions of medications and we are both on C-pap machines. We tried to get other insurance but were turned down, and the only insurance we have is the UMWA strike insurance and it runs out on March 31, 05. We would appreciate any help we could get or bills that you could vote on to help us with any insurance. I do have medicare, but my wife is only 54 and can't get it until she turns the appropriate age. She tried to get disability, and was denied. Thank You
246 KennethRomineINUS
247 MarcusCornettKYUSRetired UMWA, dues paying member and know what the union represents.
248 SharonCaudillKYUSProud daughter of a retired UMWA member. I am ashamed of the state and the law judge for allowing a coal company to ignore their contracts. We need reform in bankruptcy laws as this is a way to avoid your obligations.
249 LarryMcBrideILUS
250 PAULCAUDILLKYUSTHIS IS HAPPENING ALL TOO MUCH IN THE UNITED STATES AND NEITHER STATE OR FEDERAL REPS ARE TRYING TO PUT A STOP TO IT. I AM SURE THAT THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED WHEN THE NEXT ELECTION COMES.
