Alabama Coal Miners Bring Strike to BlackRock Offices in NYC

HeadlineJul 30, 2021

Over 1,000 members of the United Mine Workers of America have been on strike since April 1 after rejecting a new contract that refused to restore their full pay, after miners took a pay cut in 2016 to help keep the company afloat.
