Clinton: Coal Companies Should Be Held Responsible for the Lives of Miners

‘I think people should be held accountable’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

CLINTON: "We need to look at those laws. They have to have an effect. We have to take a look at these coal companies because of demands taking in bankruptcy and they’re trying to shed their responsibilities for health and pensions for people who basically planned their lives particularly their retirement on being able to count on that. Our bankruptcy laws, we are not taking into account of the years of labor and other workers have made. I am going to take a hard look at this and I think people should be held accountable and that includes those clearly cause lives of American coal mines.”
