Coal miners from Blackjewel coal company pass time chatting on the railroad tracks that lead to one of the company's mines on August 08, 2019 near Cumberland, Kentucky. The miners unexpectedly found themselves unemployed when Blackjewel declared bankruptcy and shut down their mine. Just as unexpected was the discovery that their final paychecks had bounced. When a few of the miners learned the company was shipping out a final load of coal by rail they decided to blockade the tracks to prevent the shipment from leaving the mine until they were paid their wages. The blockade, which is in its 11th day, has received a local and national outpouring of support. (Scott Olson/Getty Images)
