    Striking Utah coal miners on labor tour in Pacific Northwest The Militant, NY July 6 edition
    Longshore union expands support for UMWA strike

    CW Mining, also known as Co-Op, began firing the miners most active in trying to bring in the UMWA. “They tried to fire me,” Salazar explained, “but my co-workers protested and I got my job back.” But the intimidation continued. “Another co-worker was fired. The company tried to hide behind the charge that the worker wasn’t doing his job well but we know it was because of his union activism. When the company realized how solid we were the company said ‘fine, you’re all fired’ and called police to get us off the property.”
