  1. Maybe they should be working to undo all the propaganda and forceful stoppage of green energy and take those jobs they should have had decades ago. It's pitifully ironic the words they use while they stand on land fighting for "theirs" that was taken from people with the exact same sentiment.

  2. Credit to these workers and the UMWA! So good to see people standing up, especially in Alabama, where wages have been on the short, like they said, for generations. I'm 65 years old, one thing I learned over the years, is you can never slack up on these folks that screw us, that is why people have been fighting since the start of this country, because these kinds of mega companies are ONLY profit driven, and today, the worst it's been since the late 1800s to early 1900s, as far as labour.

  3. put every union coal miner in america back to work, we need Barbara Pits 2.0. Put every corporate fascist in the board rooms and "small businesses" and imperial war criminals in DC and the military who have lied and murdered millions abroad while terrorizing the working class of America and driving Americans into lives of desperate pitiful poverty under the mountains of Appalachia and bury them deep

  4. The reason why its so hard to get deals anymore with fair

    union and fair pay is because its part of this country's new Green peace deal/infrastructure/the global warming hoax.
    Total shutdown of coal/oil & natural gas.

  5. Both my grandfathers were coal miners, tough men doing a tough job but it's about time they started training to do new jobs because coal is a dirty old world fuel and like it or not it's on the way out.

  6. It's past time we stand up for ourselves the corporations & our government have done way to far destroying our lives for their hateful greed.
