Now who does SH*T like this?

[Hutzpa]

You're not only firing people you are now asking that they miss work without pay to appear on you photo op.

[monmouth]

1. This needs to go viral....n/t

[Hutzpa]

2. Viral indeed

[onethatcares]

3. who does shit like this?

well,it could be Massey Energy or one of the other proponents of "clean coal".

There's also been an upswing of black lung disease in younger miners, almost like magic.

Do you think the owners of companies that blow the tops off mountains, figure human death

into the bottom line and run commercials touting how great their product is for our lungs give a shit

about a days pay someone else would miss?

4. kick!

[porphyrian]

5. Why, Mitt Romney does! n/t

[Qutzupalotl]

6. Technically, only a threat of firing.

The plant was closed just for the one day Romney was there, not permanently.

Still, shitty.

[nc4bo]

8. Very shitty. Miners not only have to worry about dying in their work place but also

had worry about losing their ability to work in an environment which could kill them.

Really puts those miners in a completely unnecessarily stressful situation.

Seriously eff'd up stuff right there.

7. Williard Romney, have you no shame?

And let us not forget about the mine OWNERS who cooperated in this travesty.

9. Robots behind the robot. If they could fire them all now, they would. Check the body language.

10. Bob Murray n/t

11. I've experienced this type of shoddy treatment of workers before. Not quite as extreme but

it made me feel like dirt. Sadly I bet a lot of the workers in the ad will vote for Romney and corporatists against their own best interests. This seems to be common in right to work states.

[Hutzpa]

12. It is unacceptable for workers to be treated in such a

way in this country, not when we are telling other countries that America is the best place for democracy in the world.
