As Peabody Energy has again slashed the health benefits for retired Wyoming coal mine workers, the state’s congressional delegation has so far been silent.
Travis Deti, executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association, said things like the retirement benefits “are company decisions” that fall “outside of my wheelhouse” to comment on.
Buell recalled a meeting for employees where Peabody representatives talked about a big pot of money meant to cover health costs for company retirees.
RMA Support GroupIn Indiana, Peabody Energy retiree Don Wright last week launched the "Peabody Retirees RMA support group" on Facebook, hoping to publicize the RMA cuts and encourage Peabody retirees to share their experiences.
Wright also launched a letter-writing campaign, urging lawmakers to get involved in Peabody Energy’s decision to cut retiree medical benefits.
