Working PeopleStriking Coal Miners Won't Back Down, Part II (w/ Kim Kelly & Jacob Morrison) Over 1,100 union coal miners in Brookwood, Alabama, have been on an unfair labor practices strike against Warrior Met Coal for over five months. And for five months, the mainstream media has barely made a peep about the strike. Instead, a small collection of independent journalists and local and progressive media outlets have been working overtime to cover this important story.
