Massey board member resigns
April 20, 2010 by Ken Ward Jr.At least one Massey Energy board of directors member, Lady Barbara Thomas Judge, has resigned in the wake of the April 5 disaster that killed 29 workers at Massey’s Upper Big Branch M ine in Raleigh County, W.Va.
Massey gave no explanation for the move when it announced it in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Interestingly, Lady Judge was not among those board members named as defendants last week in a shareholder derivative lawsuit against Massey’s governing board and top executives.
