With a declining market for its coal, a Wyoming town deals with something new: uncertainty
February 26, 2019 /
Four men sat shoulder to shoulder in a back booth of Rosie’s bar on a frigid February night in southwestern Wyoming. They laughed loudly as the rounds progressed, at inside jokes about the coal mine where they’d worked for decades, about families and mutual friends around town.
When the conversation turned to the Westmoreland Coal Company bankruptcy, the laughter faded.
“I guarantee you that there is no one at that mine that has a goddamn thing to do with this bankruptcy,” said Kim McKee, a retiree who spent 41 years in the mines.
