Miner union split fuels Illinois shift to Progressives
Ozanic described a career starting at age 15 as a coal miner and UMW member. After 22 years the Illinois miners seceded from the UMW to form the Progressive Mine Workers of Illinois in 1932. The new union claimed 35,000 of 42,000 state miners and gained an AFL charter in 1938, expanding to 80,000 outside Illinois, though those workers were not recognized by the labor board.
