BROOKWOOD, Ala. (AP) – Miners striking against an Alabama coal company say they’re being targeted on the picket line.
In a video on YouTube, a red truck can be seen hitting one picketer, while another view shows a black truck driving through a line with one striking miner barely getting out of its path, al.com reported.
The incidents have occurred over the last few days, said Larry P. Spencer, United Mine Workers of America International vice president for District 20.
“It looks like there are guys coming off the road pretty fast,” Spencer said. “Our people don’t have any time to get out of the way.”
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office told al.com that they were unaware of any reports related to the incidents.
