If any of these folks spent not even 5 minutes talking to any of the people who organized & participated in protests against the mountain valley pipeline, they'd realize how much easier it'd be to talk to a WV miner about possibly criminal, radical protest than the lib wine mom

100%. Or the coal miners in Bessemer, Alabama who waged the longest strike in state history.

ppl here already forgot about the WV teachers strike from a handful of yrs ago (wildcat strike which spread to other states!!), not to mention the fight coal miners engaged in decades ago - way too many here have a lot to learn! #WasntBornYesterday

I can only speak from personal experience, but none of our labor history was taught in school for me. Not even in my WV History course in 8th grade!

I'm a democrat because 80 years ago my great grandfather joined a coal miners union
