Warrior Met Coal strike in Alabama reaches 100th day amid increased company violence
Warrior Met Coal miners remain kept in the dark on negotiations by the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) as their strike reached its 100th day on Friday amid intensified violence by Warrior Met Coal employees. A rash of vehicular assaults in June sent more than one picket to local hospitals. Miners have alleged that scabs have pulled guns on them as they enter and exit the mine. On July 8, a miner’s wife picketing on the side of the road was struck by a scab’s car as he turned in at the Warrior Met Campus.
