Not that it is exactly relevant to this thread, but all the mine disasters since 2000 (and possibly before) all happened in non-union mines. Especially after the previous 3 which happened pretty close time wise, the UWMA could have easily won the hearts and minds of Americans and unionized those mines. Interesting that despite it's status as a non-union mine, the Union sent out its expert rescue and safety team which is doing most of the work.
