No one on here said coal miners are lower end folks. Simply stated unions have destroyed our labor force
Absolutely correct.
Lots of my hard working neighbors would still have decent jobs at US Steel APGreen Griffin Wheel Chicago Steel Gadsden Plate And 100 other companies within 50 miles plus the thousands of small businesses that employed tens of thousands of people if the unions hadn’t protected the useless and destroyed the jobs
How does that relate to the coal miners we're talking about here? The mines in Brookwood have been in operation for several decades and will probably operate again within the terms of a new bargaining agreement soon.
