United Mine Workers of America Company Description
The United Mine Workers of America is a bit of misnomer. While the labor union still represents coal miners and clean coal technicians throughout the US and Canada, it also welcomes truck drivers, school board employees, and health care professionals to its 100,000-plus active members and retirees. The group helps members organize for workers' rights, publishes newsletters, lobbies congress, and disseminates information on health, safety, and welfare issues for miners as well as political and economic concerns. The labor union also runs a Career Center in Pennsylvania to train new miners. Founded in 1890, the United Mine Workers of American is affiliated with the AFL-CIO and the Central Labor Council.
