The miners stuck underground are likely to be denied to be their wages.

The workers families are suing because of the failure of the mining company to meet the very minimum safety standards that they were already required to meet by court order.

While the trapped miners have been underground, the other shift miners have not been paid and they have protested about being left with no pay.

If the tv cameras of the World were not looking - there would not be a rescue.

Finally remember - this is the type of employment that a future Senator Paul or Senator O'Donnell would want.
