HAMILTON CO., Ill. - Employees of Alliance mine in Macedonia (Hamilton County) have advised that there are 192 miners being laid off at that location.
The employees have advised that Alliance is calling it "temporary until August 1."
They have also advised that they've been told there is no severance pay and no insurance as of tomorrow.
We'd heard this last night at the Harrisburg city council meeting, but didn't get confirmation til late this morning.
More if we get it.
