Coal-Miners' Blues by Jared W. Blackley, Salt Lake City Weekly
The Co-Op mines are already unionized. But the legitimacy of that union is questionable. One of the unfair labor practice charges is that this union, the International Association of United Workers (IAUW), is employer dominated. Warren Pratt, secretary for the union at the Co-Op mines, says there are currently 99 union members working at the mine and that the NLRB recognizes the union. Neither Bill Estrada nor any of the miners that came to his defense belong to the IAUW.
“These so-called union officers,” said Estrada, “never presented themselves to us as reps. We were told they were bosses. They never filed any grievance against the company. They never came in defense of any worker. There was no election of them as union officers.”------------------------------------------- posted 5:23 AM :: reference link ::
