Unable to work, the Henrico man said he became eligible for worker's compensation, money he counts on for his living expenses. However, when he moved into a new home, he said his mail stopped coming.
The man, who is on disability, said his troubles began about a month ago. He told the CBS 6 Problem Solvers that if he doesn't get help soon, he won't be able to pay his bills, drive a car or vote.
British ex-miners support call for full investigation of New Zealand’s Pike River disaster
The World Socialist Web Site
is publishing statements from former coal miners in the UK in support of the Pike River Families Committee, which represents 23 of the 29 families of the men who died in the 2010 Pike River coal mine disaster in New Zealand. The families are fighting to overturn the Labour Party-led government’s decision to end an underground forensic investigation of the mine. The government aims to prevent the recovery and examination of evidence that could be used in criminal prosecutions of those responsible for the disaster.
