Patriot Coal was created by Peabody Energy in 2007 with
the specific purpose of allowing Peabody Energy and Arch Coal to shed
its long-term health care obligations to its retirees and their
families. Saddled with too much debt and too little production to keep
pace with its debt load, Patriot is seeking to reorganize under Chapter
11 bankruptcy.
The UMWA is fighting back every step of the way. The real culprits in this scheme, Peabody Energy and Arch Coal, have made hundreds of millions the last few years while Patriot has lost millions. We are working to make Peabody and Arch accept their share of the obligations to those who literally put their lives and their health on the line every day they go to work.
