On October 4th, 350 coal miners were temporarily and unexpectedly laid off at the Shoal Creek mine, near Adger. These miners live across parts of Jefferson, Walker and Tuscaloosa counties.
Since this is one of Alabama’s largest coal mines, the timing of the closure could not have been any worse. Not only did people lose their job in the midst of a global pandemic, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays were fast approaching.
