A conference in Cape Town, South Africa, sponsored by the AFL-CIO Solidarity Center, explored how to bring justice to domestic workers, day laborers and others in the world’s informal economy.
The government’s $210 million agreement with Alpha Natural Resources over the 2010 Upper Big Branch explosion that killed 29 coal miners is a “beginning step” toward justice, says AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka. But, he adds, “The only way to make a real down payment on justice is to ensure the guilty serve appropriately stiff jail sentences.” Alpha bought Massey Energy for $8.5 billion in February 2011.

By SABRINA TAVERNISE and CLIFFORD KRAUSS 
For the families of the miners killed in the accident, the settlement was justice denied. Many were hoping for criminal charges against the people who ran the company.
