Could you identify some of these “union” mines that will be shipping to China, for the benefit of Tumpka?

The coal that will be shipped to China is Peabody coal from the Powder River Basin. It is actually not considered “coal” officially, as it was de-certified as a coal region by the first President Bush in ‘92 because the coal was of such poor quality that the company was unable to make a profit and abide by all the EPA regulations. It has an extremely low BTU level.
