After WWII, those hospitals were given to the government with the understanding that mine workers would have healthcare from cradle to grave." Today's version of that bill (S 1714; HR 2403) has bi-partisan support, but is being held up from making it to the floor for a vote by Senate Leader, Mitch McConnell, who is in the pockets of Alliance Coal. If he let's it go, it will pass. If he doesn’t, 89,000 UMW retirees will lose their healthcare benefts, 22,000 almost immediately.

The largest armed uprising in US labor history. 12,000 workers from West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Ohio flooded Kanawha County, WV to set up a union by force. Vehemently anti-union, a local sheriff and the coal companies attacked the miners. Thousands of armed and angry miners rushed into the lush hills and winding paths of Blair Mountain to fight for the union. Federal troops were called in and the miners dispersed in order to avoid further bloodshed. At the time the struggle was seen as a failure but in retrospect the Battle of Blair Mountain led directly to a much larger and stronger union movement." Description An account of the resource Today is the anniversary of #blairmountain #LaborDay. The Battle of Blair Mountain, one of the largest civil uprisings in U.S. history, faced a turning point on August 31, 1921. 10,000 armed coal miners fought for the right to unionize in the southwestern West Virginia coalfields. The battle lasted 5 days, the U.S. gov't. responded by sending the Army to bomb the coal miners. Now Blair Mountain is threatened with mountain top removal.
