According to the UMWA, the union is contributing $50,000 to establishing a relief fund for workers and families, and later this week will pay roughly $600,000 in the first wave of bi-weekly strike benefits to dues-paying members participating in strike activity.
The union has also purchased health care insurance for striking members and families. Details for those wishing to contribute to the relief fund will be available later this week on the UMWA’s website.
“The Warrior Met miners have overwhelmingly voted to continue this strike,” UMWA International President Cecil Roberts said. “The union is mobilizing its entire resources to support them.”
