BROOKWOOD, Ala. (AP) – A union says nearly a dozen miners who’ve been striking an Alabama coal company for about two months were arrested during a protest outside a mine in Tuscaloosa County.
The United Mine Workers of America says 11 members were charged with trespassing at a Warrior Met Coal mine in Tuscaloosa County on Tuesday evening.
They were released on bond early Wednesday, and the union planned a rally later in the day at Tannehill Ironworks State Park.
The company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the arrest and continuing strike. It previously has defended its contract offer.
