Yablonski.

>>>From the beginning of his administration, Boyle faced significant opposition from rank-and-file miners and UMWA leaders. Miners' attitudes about their union had also changed. Miners wanted greater democracy and more autonomy for their local unions. There was also a widespread belief that Boyle was more concerned with protecting mine owners' interests than those of his members. Grievances filed by the union often took months—sometimes years—to resolve, lending credence to the critics' claim. >>>>>

I was trying to fill some gaps re. Jock Yablonski and this passage jumped off the page and bit me in the...... *arm*.

Made me think of *my* union, frankly: AFT. ( Local: UFT)

'People of a certain age' will recall the Yablonski murder trial ---- and the resultant labor turmoil ---- which seemed to drag thru the courts with the speed of melting polar ice caps during the early 70's.

As you were.
