Report: Massey Bars Miners from Attending Victims’ Funerals
-----------------------------------------------------------



The Washington Independent, meanwhile, is reporting Massey Energy has
prevented miners from attending their co-workers’ funerals since the
explosion. Company officials reportedly also rejected plans for a
makeshift memorial outside the mine site. And in at least one case, a
relative of one of the victims was forced to go to work even though the
fate of the victim was at that point still unknown.
