These interviews concentrate on the Miners for Democracy movement within the United Mine Workers Union in West Virginia, 1970-1972. George W. Hopkins interviewed movement leaders for his dissertation, "The Miners for Democracy: Insurgency in the United Mine Workers of America, 1970-1972" (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1976). Interviews with Joseph "Chip" Yablonski, Jr., Arnold Miller, Mike Trbovich, and other United Mine Workers leaders focus on the miners' movement, its internal problems, and the issues at the mines that spurred the creation of the movement. |
