Coal miners' union urges Manchin to reconsider opposition to Biden plan
By Karl Evers-Hillstrom - 12/20/21 05:43 PM EST

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), which represents West Virginia coal miners, urged Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday to revisit his opposition to President Biden's Build Back Better plan.

The labor union noted that the bill includes an extension of a fund that provides benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung disease, which expires at the end of the year. The UMWA also touted tax incentives that encourage manufacturers to build facilities in coalfields that would employ thousands of miners who lost their jobs.

“For those and other reasons, we are disappointed that the bill will not pass,” Cecil Roberts, the union’s president, said in a statement. “We urge Senator Manchin to revisit his opposition to this legislation and work with his colleagues to pass something that will help keep coal miners working, and have a meaningful impact on our members, their families, and their communities.”

The plan that criminalizes the entire West Virginia economy?

Biden must have called in a favor from union bosses.  I wonder how rank-and-file union members feel about this.

shocking, Shocking,SHOCKING revelation to the shameless clueless, democrats make massive promises to oil, coal, energy workers and many others, and shamelessly break them.  Why would they want to embarrass themselves publicly to such an outrageous degree?  Are they suck on a path of forever clueless?

The HQ of the UMW is located east of I-95.  There isn't a coal mine within 200 miles of there.
