A little bit of Union History, morals & ethics in regard to the Blair Mountain Historic Battle Field; the site of the largest Armed insurrection in the United States since the Civil War. 10,000 union miners engaged in armed conflict with coal company thugs and the US Military over the Unionization of the coal mines in 1921.

1. The American people had soon better

understand the significance of union rights before it is too late. And the Democratic Party had better quickly learn to support unions every time or we will see a strong third party rise up in this nation. I mean you, Obama & Duncan.
