The Union business has very little to do with the coal business these days. The UMWA is cheerfully awaiting the day when they can walk into WalMart and Arbys with a petition and start collecting dues.

While that's certainly true of the thugs that run the UMWA (and any other union), it's not true of the actual membership in general. They want jobs.

They want jobs.

You'd think the management would get that. No jobs, no employees, no need for a union, and no one to pay the dues.
