2022 In Review
The United Mine Workers of America had a thriving and successful 2022, but it was also filled with a lot of struggle and hard work. We want to thank all of the members of supporters who got on the buses, attended the rallies, and walked the halls of Congress when called upon.
As John L. Lewis once said, we derive our strength from the membership of the United Mine Workers of America.
It is truly an honor to serve you, and we will continue to work to keep your trust and pursue the goals of the UMWA. May God Bless each and every one of you and may he bless the United Mine Workers of America.

53rd Annual Farmington Memorial – Virtual Event
Unfortunately, to ensure the safety of our membership and their families, UMWA District 31 made the decision to hold this year’s 53rd Annual Farmington Memorial Service virtually.
It is the UMWA’s promise to always hold a memorial service to honor the 78 men who lost their lives in 1968 at the Farmington #9 mine.
We hope that next year we can hold this service in person.

Miners Against BlackRock
UMWA miners and hundreds of supporters marched to the BlackRock Headquarters on November 4, 2021, to show that our fight against Warrior Met doesn’t just exist in Alabama.
BlackRock is Warrior Mets biggest investor and no matter what any judge says, the UMWA will not stop protesting, will not stop rallying, will not stop picketing until justice is served.
