With a rich history deeply intertwined with the labor movement, our district encompasses local unions in key regions, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Nova Scotia. District 2 stands as one of the most diverse and dynamic districts within the UMWA, with a membership that spans a wide spectrum of professions, including not only miners but also correctional officers, county workers, and manufacturing workers.
