Murray will file a motion in bankruptcy court to throw out its collective bargaining agreement with the union. It will seek to be relieved of its obligations to retirees, their dependents and widows.

'We are putting our great coal miners back to work,' Trump said at a 2018 rally in West Virginia. 'The coal industry is back!' They f***ing believed him. And the companies will seek to take away their benefits & pensions, as they hoard what is left for the banks & creditors.

Trump at his best...

But wait, Trump was going to save those and spare jobs and save the world.

If this was a Demonrat administration ALL the coal enterprices were out of work.

Trump hasn’t saved your job. He hasn’t helped you find a new one. But, the air you breathe and the water you drink is not as clean as it used to be. Oh, and it’s all the immigrants fault. I have a bridge to sell you.

Wondering what MineWorkers has to say about this.

You get what you vote for.

Those coal owner were so happy to get that tax scam money,but look who got scammed for believing a lying ''Con man',those coal miners that voted for the WH crook need to think about themselves like he does and vote blue because Democrats will help you, GOP only help themselves.

Obama destroyed the coal industry!

As usual trump promised lies and the coal miners believed.

SOLAR WAKEUP

Just like trump.

Good hes makin America great

Karma baby. Karma!!!

Whaling for oil had to die out too. 🖕 MurrayEnergyC.

The winning of Trump is contagious

So, the coal industry shut its doors under trump! Good to know.

These are tTrumps kind of people. Take all the money of front with promises and then just file bankruptcy and leave workers and cities holding the bag.

Guess HRC was right.

OccupyOneLove Well heck ya. Don't wanta pay those miners retirement money they earned.

OccupyOneLove What about Clean Coal? Whatever happened with that bulls**t line. 🐢🌼💫🇺🇸

donwinslow I knew clean coal would upset the apple cart

“Trump Digs Coal”

And remember when the file bankruptcy, all the families lose there retirements and benefits....!

donwinslow Good. It means the solar cell/wind turbine movement is winning.

Vote him out, coal mining community!!!!!

I guess they are not MAGA after all

donwinslow Trump business plan

Must be because coal workers were not praying enough. Or it's Trump's fault. Or it's the way the market works and Trump used you to get elected.

But the important thing is whether any of those mines’ owners are significant donors to Trump’s PAC.

And the miners will still vote for him

It is the energy source of the dark ages.

realDonaldTrump

Obama succeeded!!!

Coal is dead.

But, I thought coal was coming back big time. Lol.

American utilities have moved from coal. There is some global business It isn't enough to maintain growth. States affected should implement apprenticeship programs for green jobs. Either they learn new skills or move. World is changing

Trump was going to save the coal industry, you mean he didn't? Bummer, oh well you got exactly what you voted for! Idiots!

Oh, I remember 'coal king Robert Murray' from iamjohnoliver LastWeekTonight

Its a dieing industry. Just like building horseless carriages died out.

MAGA maga realDonaldTrump GOP

But Trump said he would bring coal back...

What and we should be surprised? Trump has played the Trump Support for fools. And boy are they getting it.

This is what coal country voted for. maga

The biggest coal mine company in the USA just filed for bankruptcy.

Feel terrible for those men and women who have lost their jobs

8 is enough

Wasn’t saving coal one of the world’s biggest liars Trump election promises?

RachelleFeldma3 Not only they’re just filing bankruptcy they getting bought by the bigger companies.

Trump knows all about bankruptcies. In fact, that is basically all he knows.

Really? Do the workers know that dt reneged on yet another campaign promise?

Beautiful Bankruptcies? 🤦‍♂️

More money for them in bankruptcy than in ongoing operations

That doesn’t mean they are not working or hiring. Another DEM propaganda media outlet.

What happened? Trump liked coal. Weren't his families NYC apartment complexes heated by coal?

I'M GOING TO BRING ALL THE COAL COMPANIES BACK....COAL WILL BE KING, LOL SUCKERS....CONNED AGAIN BY THE CONMAN IN CHIEF...

MAGA, am I right?

We need to end our dependence on coal.

Not surprised

They still owe their employees money!

It’s clearly coming back

They saw that a bankruptcy judge let Trump draw a $2,000,000 a year salary (and keep his planes flying) while in bankruptcy with his casinos. And Trump considers this a way to manage debt.

Coal is like the whaling industry for oil. It's an industry that is dying and out of date. Time to face the facts and find a new occupation coal miners.

So much winning 😂😂😂

Promises made and not kept.

that's awesome

Beautiful clean coal! Promises not kept.

I'm sure Trump can help with the paperwork, he's had lots of practice filing for bankruptcy!!!

tRump: making coal great again.

Great to see Newsweak subjecting itself to being a clickbait news org. The reasons in the article have nothing to do with Trump.

The beginning of many bankruptcies. Donald is the king of one thing: bankruptcies. All those “favours” that weren’t fulfilled to his big money republicans “though”...

SUCKERS & MAGA IDIOTS

And the two clowns behind him smiley and smirky. How's that working out for you in coal country. Vote for a clown and the results you get may not be funny for you.

So much winning!

Good! We desperately need clean, renewable energy.

Isn’t that what the Left wanted?

Just the FACTS!!! And increased the federal deficit to $1 trillion dollars. Fiscally conservative GOP.....yeah right

There goes that vote!🙅

Hmmm, and the number of women voters has remained the same or increased. Maybe nytimes should have done a few think pieces on women in America instead of the miners.

Greta will be happy

Fake news. realDonaldTrump saved the coal industry. Many many jobs returned. Coal miners and owners are happy

Bbbbb...but realDonaldTrump said coal was coming back! Do you mean he LIED to CoalMiners just to get their vote

Oh you mean Trump didn’t save coal? Just like Mexico didn’t pay for the wall? Or China pay for the tariffs? Of the tax cut wouldn’t increase national debt? Or he would help farmers? manufacturing would go up? How many lies? how stupid can people be to support him?

Is that a lot?

They got what they wanted. They voted for the bankruptcy king. Next up will be the farmers.

Does this surprise anyone?

In the next 4 years The Government of USA will file for bankruptcy. Thanks to tRump.

I can’t stand trump, but coal mines closing is no shocker. We are moving away from coal. This is, and I’ve never said this before, not trumps fault.

This is trump saving big beautiful coal another promise shit upon

So Trump escalated the War on Coal? What next, will we be saying Happy holidays in December?

Thoughts and prayers?🤷‍♂️

Surprise!!!
