The Miners Voice
- Title
- The Miners Voice
- Description
- Selections from The Miners Voice, an independent newspaper published by rank-and-file miners in the 1970s. The Miners Voice was established as an alternative source of news to the union-controlled UMW Journal, bypassing the media promoted by then-UMW President Tony Boyce, who had become “a compliant tool of the coal industry” and was found to have ordered the murder of campaign opponent Joseph “Jock” Yablonski (Early, 2022). Because of this, they paid particular attention to promoting democratically minded candidates and fair union elections.
