Miners and bosses split but united under one union
The ruling clarifies there was no direct affiliation between the miners and bosses locals yet both belong to and contribute to the United Mine Workers of America. It states the foremen’s union is affiliated with Dist. 50 and that UMWA financed and participated in the labor dispute fueling the work stoppage. The decision notes a ruse between firm and miners and that dues funded by the bank and file were not used to finance the controversy.
