Trumka's UMW bid funded by rank and file trinkets
Union candidate Rich Trumka runs for UMW president using posters, shirts, lamps and more sold to miners. Campaign funds, boosted by a lamp sale and a PA lottery, aim for about $200,000 as he challenges incumbent Sam Church. The effort leverages rank and file support with a slate endorsed by 449 locals.
