Striking Miners vow seven day walkout to spread
More than 500 West Virginia coal miners pledged to broaden the seven day protest into other areas after a Dry Branch meeting. The walkout, idling over 20 000 miners mainly in southern West Virginia, began after a federal judge fined a local union $50 000 for not returning to work. The miners seek dismissal of injunctions and fines and a union mediated grievance process. They also demand equal justice from federal courts and no reprisals against strikers.
