District 20 in Action!
District 20, located in the southern part of the United States, is a beacon of strength and unity for UMWA members in a region rich in coal mining history. With a storied past and a resilient membership, District 20 has earned a reputation for representing the most diverse group of coal workers within the UMWA. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rapidly shrinking overseas coal markets and shifting economic landscapes, the members of District 20 continue to persevere and stand strong.
On September 27, 2023, Senator Greg Reed announced road improvement updates to the road leading to the Shoal Creek Mine located in Walker and Tuscaloosa Counties. This funding will allow for nearly seven miles of road resurfacing and striping to provide safe and adequate passage for workers at the Shoal Creek Mine.
