SAG-AFTRA Stands in Solidarity with Mine Workers

On Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, SAG-AFTRA New York Local members marched in solidarity with striking Alabama mine workers of Warrior Met Coal in their fight for fairness. United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) members seeking a fair contract from their employer marched to the New York City headquarters of investment management company BlackRock, the largest shareholder of Warrior Met Coal. UWMA members, who have been on strike since April 2021, were joined in solidarity by the AFL-CIO, New York City Central Labor Council, SAG-AFTRA, and workers representing unions across all industries.
