The next case of systemic corporate misconduct we will examine is that involving the former Squaw Creek Mine in Warrick County, Indiana, located just 7.5 miles west of Boonville, Indiana, and the Patriot Coal Corporation. Presently known as the Liberty Coal Mine and under the operations of the aforementioned Vigo Coal Company, the Squaw Creek Mine was once a joint venture owned by the Peabody Energy Company and Alcoa Inc. up until 2007 when, thanks to some creative financial engineering on the part of Peabody and Alcoa, Patriot Coal was created. Under the auspices of their union contract with Peabody Energy, miners who had worked at Squaw Creek for a period of 20 years or more were entitled to a pension and to lifetime health benefits once they reached the age of 55.
