A train loaded with coal is motionless on the tracks inside the Black Mountain mining complex in Kentucky of bankrupt mining company BlackJewel. The US Department of Labour last week allocated $3.72-million towards the retaining of laid-off employees, who blocked the train in protest of working without pay. The National Dislocated Worker Grant and the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Programme will dispense the money for training and job programmes in 23 eastern Kentucky counties.
