For info: That is about 20% of it's workforce.

Although, they might just be outsourcing it / getting business consultants instead.
This will allow them to adjust to needs more quickly. (yes, I know that is theory, but I have seen several banks do this).

Coal has been a walking-dead industry for a long time now.  Those poor workers had their hopes manipulated, but it was never going to happen.

Those poor workers had their hopes manipulated...

A lot of interviews I heard, coal country people said of Trump that they didn't believe he would save their coal jobs, but he was the only person who could be bothered to even mention them. Clinton did a terrible job there. The "end coal" campaigns have not paid enough attention to the people who would be displaced. Promises of job retraining are just as much BS as all the BS that Trump spouted. If you're a coal worker, you just have to choose between BS and more BS when you decide who to vote for.
