United States Fourth Circuit
U.S. Dep't of Labor v. Wolf Run Mining Co., Inc., 06-1129
Preliminary injunction requiring mining company to permit the United Mine Workers of America to investigate the Sago Mine explosion is upheld where: 1) defendant's insufficient notice argument was waived, and notice was actually sufficient; 2) the UMWA's uncontested designation of representation for two anonymous miners supported the injunction; 3) no legal limitation exists in the statute or regulations regarding who may represent miners; and 4) the injunction does not violate the mine's common law property rights.
