Mortons Gap City Council backs non-union Peabody miners right to form a union
MORTONS GAP, KY – The Mortons Gap City Council unanimously passed a town resolution supporting the area’s
non-union coal miners’ right to organize who are employed by Peabody Energy, the world’s largest private sector
coal company.
The resolution which passed by a vote of 5-0, states that Peabody Energy Corp. should allow its employees to
choose freely whether to be unionized by remaining neutral and not resorting to the use of pressure tactics, such
as mandatory meetings on unionization, threats to close the mine, or any other form of interference or intimidation,
and that Peabody agree to an expedited and fair process by which the employees can make a decision about
unionization.
A copy of the passed resolution will be sent to Peabody’s CEO Greg Boyce.
