Bear Run Mine - A 'Rumor Has It' Update

An update to the post written a little over a month ago here: http://magiccoalcity.blogspot.com/2009/03/350-new-jobs-bear-run-mine-in-sullivan.html

Word on the street now has it that 350 ‘new’ jobs in previous headlines may not be entirely accurate. Instead, most of the staff needed at the new Bear Run Mine may actually be transfers from three other area mines, which are owned or otherwise affiliated with Peabody, such a the nearby Farmersburg Mine, among others.

Sources also indicate ‘very thorough’ physicals are being given, including hair sample drug testing. So, put down the triple cheeseburger, lose a few pounds, visit the gym, quit smoking & drinking, and lay off the drugs beforehand.
