Busload of USW Local 1899, 50 and District 7 SOAR Chapter 34-2 Members Support UMWA at St. Louis Rally
Submitted By Doug May
On Monday, April 29, 2013 a busload of Local 1899, 50 and District 7 SOAR Chapter 34-2 members attended another UMWA rally to show support for retirees of Patriot Coal (a spin-off from Peabody Coal). We joined thousands who are all supporting the United Mine Workers Union. Their President, Cecil Roberts' fire and brimstone speech in St. Louis, Mo. was well received by the energized crowd who then marched to the Federal Courthouse, blocks away, as Patriot Coal begins their bankruptcy proceedings, attempting to eliminate 10,000 retirees healthcare in the process. Speakers included White House adviser Van Jones, CWA President and the Mine Workers of Australia President.
