No. 201, 14 April 1978 The 1977-78 coal strike was the most explosive political event in the recent history of the American working class. Jimmy Carter tried to "cool it" for almost three months, the big business press did its best to keep it off the front pages, and the big wheels of the labor movement turned their backs on the miners until the strike threatened to close down the heartland of u.s. industry and freeze out the East-Central states. But down at the base, in the ranks of U.S. labor, millions of workers followed the miners' struggle with avid attention and sympathy. While the UA W did nothing in the face of 300,000 layoffs in the depths of the 1974-76 depression; while New York City unions threw in the towel during the bank-manipulated "fiscal crisis," and "rebel" steel union bureaucrats meekly accepted extension of the hated ENA no-strike pact, the coal diggers out in the Appalachians stood up and fought back. They stopped a concerted offensive by the operators that was supposed to "teach them a lesson." Instead, with their unsurpassed militancy the miners rocked the U.S. ruling class and inspired all the rest of the labor movement.

  • Private Litigation and The
    Kalis: Private Litigation and the UMW On December 21, 1972, Arnold Miller, a retired coal miner Private Litigation from Ohley, West Virginia, was sworn in as President of the United Mine Workers of America (UMW). 1 The brief ceremony conducted by Federal Judge William Bryant andtheUMW climaxed an insurgent effort begun within the UMW three and one-half years before by Joseph A. "Jock" Yablonski. On May 29, 1969, Yablonski had risked his position as a UMW International Executive Board member to announce as a reform-oriented candidate for the union's presidency. 2 No one then knew better than Jock Yablonski that the incumbent president, W. A. ''Tony" Boyle, would stop at nothing to succeed in his reelection bid. 3 And no one knew better than Yablonski the magnitude of the task he and his reform-minded followers were undertaking. Yet none of those involved in the early stages of the insurgency could possibly have foreseen the events that would follow. Peter Kalis The UMW insurgency was unusual in many respects, not the least of which was its success. Also remarkable was the use which the reform candidates made of the courts in aid of their cause. In the period from Yablonski's announcement in May through the election in early December, 1969,4 Yablonski's attorneys, led by Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., went time and again to court attempting to guarantee a fair election.5 After the election and the subsequent murders of Yablonski and his wife and daughter,6 the remaining insurgent leadership continued to battle with the UMW and its officers in court.

The UMWA was an early pioneer for worker health, safety, and retirement benefits. When representatives from the Knights of Labor and the National Progressive Union of Miners and Mine Laborers decided to meet in joint session on January 23, 1890, a new union, the United Mine Workers of America, was formed. Within this initial formation, a framework of districts was established under which actual organization efforts would be carried out. The area receiving the designation of District 2 comprised most of what was considered to be Central Pennsylvania which included the following counties: Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clarion, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Fulton, Huntingdon, Jefferson, Lycoming, McKean, Potter, Somerset, Tioga, part of Bedford, and most of Armstrong and Indiana. During the history of District 2 portions of these counties, e.g. Potter County in 1960, did not always fall under District 2 control. Various reasons for this discrepancy were non-production, successful attempts by coal operators to drive the union out, and/or because the areas were handled by other districts.

In addition, the guide provides instructions for coordinating the use of the student book, audiovisual material, and skill kit for the unit. The introduction includes a statement of the general rationale; knowledge objectives; skill objectives consisting of analytical, moral-reasoning, and participation skills; instructional design; and evaluation materials for the course and the unit. A major objective in the study of the UMWA is that it can serve as an example of a system experiencing maintenance. Students observe the changing pattern of political resources and activities in the union and then may apply the concept of maintenance to new and different situations.

    “A Woman’s Place Is in the UMWA”: Women Miners and the Struggle for a Democratic Union in Western Pennsylvania, 1973–1979 Trish Kahle When women reentered the American coal mines in 1973 as underground work- ers, the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) had only recently elected the rank-and-file Miners for Democracy (MFD) reform slate, led by Arnold Miller, a dis- abled miner.1 Support for the previous union leadership, with Tony Boyle at the helm, eroded rapidly after 1968, when a slew of deadly mine disasters exposed Boyle’s col- laboration with the coal industry. Further exposing the depths of his administration’s corruption, Boyle then ordered the murder of opposition candidate Jock Yablonski following the 1969 UMWA presidential election—an act which ultimately was the I would like to thank James Sparrow, Amy Dru Stanley, Destiney Linker, Marcia Walker, the 2014 Midwest Labor History Colloquium, and the anonymous reviewers at Labor for their helpful commentary on this article. 1. Women had worked underground in small numbers before 1973, but in marginalized and unpro- tected capacities and without the benefit of Title VII, which opened up employment in heavy industry to women and dismantled a legal regime based on protection for employed women rather than equality. Ronald L. Lewis, in Black Coal Miners in America: Race, Class, and Community Conflict, documented that enslaved women worked in underground mines. British Parliamentary Papers record women working in Welsh collieries as early as 1842 (House of Commons, 84, 108). In the United States, Ida Mae Stull is the first nonslave woman known to have worked underground; she was first employed in Cadiz, Ohio, in 1906 as a lantern carrier but was not discovered by mine inspectors until 1934.

  • Coal Miners, the Black Lung Association, and Federal Compensation Reform, 1969–1972 Richard Fry
    Making Amends: Coal Miners, the Black Lung Association, and Federal Compensation Reform, 1969–1972 Richard Fry On January 11, 1971, about 50 coal miners in Logan County, West Virginia, marched in protest at the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) mismanagement of a new federal compensation program for the victims of pneumoconiosis.1 Also known as “black lung,” pneumoconiosis was a debilitating, work-related respiratory disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust. The compensation program was part of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Richard Nixon in December 1969. In administering the program, the SSA had denied the claims of thousands of disabled miners. Every miner applying for compensation had to undergo rigorous and extensive medical examinations, and the SSA used the results from those examinations to argue that many of the applicants did not have black lung, even when they displayed visible signs of breathlessness or respiratory impairment. A group of miners at a rally in Charleston, West Virginia, in 1969 for passage of a mine safety act. The horrific mid-November 1968 explosion at the Consolidation The protesting miners marched Coal Company’s No. 9 mine in Farmington, West to the Logan County SSA office.

The unit analyzes the concept of political maintenance by studying the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) between 1918 and 1975 and its fight to secure mine safety standards. A documentary approach represents the core of instruction in this 12th-grade unit which is divided into five activities. The first activity introduces students to the structure of mines and various mining safety problems in order to grasp the meaning of the issues and problems with which the UMWA, as a political system, must deal. Activity 2 studies the organization, structure, and growth of the UMWA in the 20th century. Throughout activity 3, students relate the miners' idea of union legitimacy to the concept of political maintenance. Activity 4 examines how the union has been maintained over time by the use of such political devices as control and _mobilization.

The Federation deposited the papers of Jerry Wurf in the Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs through a series of thirteen shipments from approximately 1975 to 1984. The AFSCME President’s Office comprises the Federation’s Executive Department and is located within AFSCME’s headquarters building in Washington, D.C. Jerry Wurf was born May 19, 1919 in the Bronx in New York City. At age four he contracted polio, which left Wurf with a crippled left foot. He suffered through a series of painful and ineffective corrective operations. Wurf’s partial disability caused him to become an avid reader. Jerry Wurf began his career of political activism while in high school. He joined the Young People’s Socialist League (YPSL, members known as “Yipsels”) in the 1930s. Wurf’s ideological mentor was socialist Norman Thomas. At the same time, he also developed a disdain for the Communist element of the political left: he considered this group prone to hate-mongering tendencies. Upon graduation from James Madison High School Wurf hoped to attend Tufts and become a lawyer. Instead, Wurf attended New York University (NYU), and eventually dropped out. Out of school and living in Greenwich Village, Wurf worked in a cafeteria. He soon became active in socialist organizing, and organized a cafeteria cashiers’ local.
