Over 1,000 union coal miners in Brookwood, Alabama, have been on strike since April 1. While industries around the world depend on the coal these workers pull out of the ground, few know the toll this work takes on them, their bodies, and their families.

Trump prefers the term Freedom Lung, says the other term felt too old, and dirty. So, get those campaign signs ready.
Hey, coal miners! Find a new job. Your industry is obsolete.
Full solidarity. Privatizated gains, socialized losses – standard corporate greed.
There's dirty coal and there's clean coal but the climate change monopoly doesn't want to talk about the clean coal
Is not only the coal mine workers rhe exploited.
Wall street monsters are drainning workers pocket in general wiith health insurance premiums on the skies
When you started in 1976 you didn’t weigh 400 pounds

Trying to convince people on how hard you work means that you don’t work hard at all and how dangerous your job is being a fucking break

their real wages should have increased. 100 years ago coal was dug by hand by people who had never been to school or received any training. Now there are many more requirements since the miners are operating the machinery.
There are new uses for coal that will actually assist in cleaning up the environment, in addition to making the high quality steel that is needed in diverse industries e.g. surgical tools. Coal is going to be needed for the foreseeable future so it's not like this industry is just going to go away.
Full Solidarity
Comment
the solution is m4a, shut down the coal mines and make them pay for the environmental damage. stop sending people a mile under the ground for energy that does not pay. they should all get jobs on solar. the true cost of coal is much more than all the money it ever produced. it has ruined workers, water, and whatever else. this has not even gotten a little better since ancient times.

Communism = The Crooked State runs Business.
Capitalism . = The Crooked Business runs the State.
Democratic Socialism is Communist and Capitalist greatest fear.
Has to be a way to make the coal miners immune to the effects of dealing with the coal.
