Some miners in Kentucky want better benefits and increased safety on the job.
The Kentucky Rights Board held a hearing Sunday night in Henderson, so miners could voice their opinion about those issues. They say they want the option to join a union to get better treatment.
The group is putting together a letter of recommendation to send to Peabody Coal Company, asking them to let miners vote on whether to join a union.
Peabody officials were invited to attend Sunday night's meeting, but they didn't show up.
