Patriot is not a subsidiary of Consol it was a spinoff of Peabody and more than likely is still owned by Peabody.

My buddy worked at samples mine complex , catenary coal and was laid off two weeks ago when patriot announced this . It's a shame a man works a Lively hood his whole life and only thing he knows and it gets sucked out from under him from the government and they act like they don't care .

I couldn't agree more , I worked for cummins diesel in field service , worked in the mines 12 years and it's a trickle effect I've been laidoff 6 months due to lack of work , jobs shut down and so does the rest of the state .
