[garyro]

On Tuesday, May 21st, 2013 the UMWA will hold another in a series of rallies that have been held in support of the retirees of Patriot Coal (a spin-off from Peabody Coal). Peabody/Patriot is seeking the elimination of miners’ retiree benefits in bankruptcy court.

 

 The Rally will begin at Keiner Plaza (7^th and Market Street) in downtown St. Louis starting at 10 am.

 

Leo Gerard and Jim Robinson urge USW members and retirees to support these efforts of UMWA. Members of SOAR and USW members have participated in previous rallies.

Please make plans to attend this rally and urge your members, retirees, and Union supporters who you know to do the same.
