In an especially vindictive move, workers said that Massey has refused to allow miners time off so that they can attend the funerals of their coworkers.

Only seven bodies have so far been recovered, and rescue crews said on Sunday afternoon that the mine would have to be ventilated for 12 to 15 hours before they could go in and recover the remaining 22. Some funerals have already been held.

You would think by now the owner of the mine would be hiding for his life.

While I understand that you all need jobs etc... but if you are all passionate about this, you should just strike and leave the mine.

West VA, you are your own thing.
