Murray Energy Accused Of Creating 'Atmosphere Of Intimidation' At 5 West Virginia Coal Mines

A few hours before their afternoon shift at the Marshall County Mine last spring, hundreds of coal miners were summoned to a mandatory meeting with their new boss, Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy Corp. At a training facility in Moundsville, West Virginia, the chief executive of the nation's No. 1 underground coal producer sported his signature sweater vest and struck a confrontational tone.

"Now, let us take a moment to think about your job being suddenly gone," read one of the slides in Murray's accompanying PowerPoint presentation.
