Miners Take a Stand: West Virginia Coal Operators Face Union Fury

In a bold move, the United Mine Workers of America have vowed to continue their struggle against the coal operators of Alabama and Mingo County, West Virginia. On December 5, 1920, union officials announced that the miners’ international board had unanimously adopted a resolution to carry on the fight for collective bargaining rights. The miners are determined to put an end to the exploitation and mistreatment they have endured at the hands of the operators.
