Those state trooper pigs should be ashamed of themselves. 90 percent of them back then were raised by union work and had parents who were union miners. Shame. There is a time to but money,job and security aside and do the RIGHT THING! Unfortunately here in WV we have a bunch of young miners who are so job-scared that they are afraid to even say the word union. Not the same breed of couragious,tough and honorable men that their fathers,grandfathers and great-grandfathers were. Sad state.
Real men and women in those days..they knew what they had..nowadays the majority of the youngster are so scared of Massey and Don Blankenship that they practically bow to him. Shameful what has happened to miners rights. Now,they work 6--7 days a week,longer hours and yeah,the pay is still good but only because there are still a handful of union mines. Just wait,when all the union is done(wont be long)miners will be making 10 dollars an hour or less. Just wait and see.
Awesome! Bust those lazy asses, and their commie unions!!! This shit needs to be happening in WI right now.
