Earlier this month, Mitt Romney was welcomed for a campaign event at the Century Mine in Beallsville, Ohio,
by hundreds of coal workers and their families. Now many of the mine's
workers are saying they were forced to give up a day-worth of pay to
attend the event, and they feared they might be fired if they didn’t, according to local news radio WWVA.
The claims have been mostly denied by Rob Moore, Chief Financial Officer of Murray Energy Company, which owns the mine. He acknowledges that workers weren’t paid that day but says no one was made to attend the event. Well, kind of.
