Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based Core Natural Resources, a producer and exporter of high-quality metallurgical coals, has announced a reduction in its workforce at the Leer South mine located in Philippi, West Virginia.
The reduction in force impacts 165 employees across multiple departments.
According to a company statement, "Wolf Run Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Core Natural Resources, Inc. announced a decision to reduce its workforce at the Leer South mine located in Barbour County, WV, impacting approximately 165 employees across multiple departments. This decision is a result of the ongoing downturn in metallurgical coal markets globally causing economic challenges and is necessary to ensure the mine’s long-term sustainability and competitiveness."
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
