The mine had a reputation for fair contracts and pay—miners were represented by the United Mine Workers—and was considered safe; methane may have leaked in from a nearby mine.

You've Agreed to Arbitration 6 Times and Didn't Know It
Posted On: May 18, 2026
May 17, 2026 | ARBITRATION | Good morning! Your alarm goes off. You reach for your phone. The device, the operating system, and the wireless plan that connects it all come with binding arbitration clauses buried deep in terms you accepted long ago but never read. You order your coffee on an app to save time. You’ve just agreed to arbitration. You tap your contactless transit pass to commute to work. Arbitration. You check the status of a package from Amazon. Arbitration. By the time you actually start the day, you’ve probably agreed to arbitration multiple times without even realizing it.
