Minnesota unionists back Utah miners BY BECKY ELLIS, The Militant
ST. PAUL, Minnesota—“Where I come from, there was a big dividing line between the coal miners and the mine owners. The owners were merciless in trying to take advantage of us. And we had to do what was necessary to defend ourselves against them. That’s what my daddy taught me. He was involved in three different strikes in other towns. So it was easy for me to understand what the Co-Op miners have been going through and to understand how important it is to come to their defense. They are facing the same problems as I was facing and my family was facing in Virginia in the mining area we were living in.”
This was what Ben Miller, an organizer and field agent for the Lakes and Plains Regional Council of the Carpenters and Joiners union, told the audience of 55 unionists and supporters at a February 6 meeting here to back coal miners on strike at the Co-Op mine in Huntington, Utah. The event was hosted by United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 789 at its union hall.------------------------------------------- posted 8:34 AM :: reference link ::
