Police arrest Father Andrew Switzer, a West Virginia priest and the son of coal miners, during a May 21 union rally in St. Louis in this photo from the United Mine Workers of America. The rally was one of several organized by the union to protest a complex set of business maneuvers by Peabody Energy and Arch Coal involving a spinoff company. The corporate actions affect current and retired mine workers who may face salary loss and reduced pensions and health care coverage.
