On December 20, 2019, Congress “KEPT THE PROMISE” and secured the pensions and health care of the men and women who risked their lives to energize our nation.
“When the history of our struggle to preserve miners’ pensions and health care is written, it will be recorded that, against all odds and in spite of all those who doubted our ability to succeed, the UMWA gathered together and joined with our allies to “Keep the Promise”. There has never been a greater force for justice and dignity on earth than the American Labor Movement and no greater Union than the UMWA.” – President Cecil E. Roberts
