Subject: Owner of Deadly Utah Mine Subpoenaed

Feb. 26, 2008 April 28 is Workers Memorial Day, a time to remember those killed on the job. Materials to plan your Workers Memorial Day event are now available. Robert Murray, co-owner of the Crandall Canyon Mine where six coal miners and three rescuers were killed in August, must testify before a U.S. House committee investigating the tragedy. He was subpoenaed after rebuffing several requests from the committee to appear voluntarily. The committee wants to know if the mining technique used at the mine contributed to the deaths of the six and has questions about Murray's role in the rescue operations.
