United Mine Workers To Release UBB Report
{West Virginia}...United Mine Workers safety experts plan to hold a press conference Tuesday in Charleston to publicly release the report on the April 2010 explosion that killed 29 miners at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County. Prior to the report's public release, the union will hold a private briefing with families of the miners who died. UMW President Cecil Roberts says the surviving miners, their families and most of all, the families of the victims deserve to know the entire truth about what happened to their loved ones and their co-workers.
