In responce to the shooting of two miners in Southern Illinois, the West Kentucky branch of the NUM balloted it's members on strike action last night.
Over 92% voted "Yes". West KY NUM leader Jerry Davies says that the strike will begin in a few hours time.

Shares in Rhodes & Londonderry Mining Inc. fell by over 54% yesterday, causing markets to panic all over North America.

An unidentified Civil Servant has told Tribune that parts of the Mid East region will experiance power shortages within the next few days if West KY miners go on strike.

Coal Strike Updates

The West KY NUM have agreed to wait until Sunday (although probably Monday) before beginning strike action.

Word is that the East KY NUM and the WV NUM are considering going on strike as well. According to Tribune's energy expert Ken Coleman such a strike would cripple power supplies across the nation and could bring the entire economy to a shuddering halt.

A man with a "Texan accent" was arrested in Henderson county, KY last night. Police have indicated that it may have something to do with the Franklin County Murders.

A tired looking Senator Realpolitik (the leader of both the federal NUM and the AFL-CIO) has announced that at some point in the next few days the AFL-CIO will appoint a mediator in an attempt to end the strike before "all hell breaks loose".

You have yet to produce a sigle bill...

I wrote the Budget Ammendment. Hopefully it won't be needed (I'm going to try to fiddle it into the new Constitution) but a lot of work and off the record wrangling went into that.

I've got a big bill planned but there's too much on the Senate floor already to introduce it.

I find it odd that Al has power in the government, yet still does this "STRIKE!" stuff. At the very least, it shows "Senator Labor Union" is incapable of helping the workers of his district so there is peace.

Was there any need for that attack? What happens next depends how different people react.
It could end tomorrow. It could end in a week. Wait and see...
