Blood Runs Coal: The Yablonski Murders and the Battle for the United Mine Workers of America, Paperback - Mark A. Bradley

Detalii:

In the early hours of New Years Eve 1969, in the small soft coal mining borough of Clarksville, Pennsylvania, longtime trade union insider Joseph Jock Yablonski and his wife and daughter were brutally murdered in their old stone farmhouse. Behind the assassination was the corrupt president of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), Tony Boyle, who had long embezzled UMWA funds, silenced intra-union dissent, and served the interests of Big Coal companies--and would do anything to maintain power. The most infamous crimes in the history of American labor unions, the Yablonski murders catalyzed the first successful rank-and-file takeover of a major labor union in modern US history. Blood Runs Coal is an extraordinary portrait of one of the nations major unions on the brink of historical change.Book specifications:Dimensions: 208 x 138Author: Mark A.
