I have friends and family that are coal miners, some have connections to Warrior Met. Some are union and some aren't. Some are harder workers than others, some aren't. At the end of the day they are still my friends and family and neither the union reps nor the "rich investors" have ever broke bread with us over the holidays or special occasions.

It's a job, regardless if you're a union man or a company man you both work for somebody else. Your job isn't guaranteed and if you don't like it there then someone else will come along and fill your position. Someone else had your job before you got it and someone else will get it after you're gone.
