KAPE, not a union, but all you need.

Raylan and Boyd Crowder dug coal together. Things are different now.

This is why unions were established. The working conditions today are a direct result of their involvement. But many on here think that businesses just gave better working conditions and better pay out of the goodness of their hearts.
This is quite revisionist history through rose colored glasses. Human history until about 1920s was basically varying degrees of hardship, starvation, and disease for 90% of the global population.
The accumulation of capital and new technology improved lives to what they are today. The idea that you can write a law and snap you have prosperity is preposterous. People worked these awful jobs because it was their best choice in a shite sandwich of bad options in a poor world.

The coal mine unions sucked even more life out of these workers. Had to pay union dues to keep a job and the union bosses sucked up to the coal mine companies. The unions did little for these workers other than demand union dues. People dying of black lung still rarely get reimbursed. Crooked union BS propaganda all over in here.

Isn't that bad really once you get down there. Shifts likely go quick and you get a good pay for a days work.
These baws helped pave our way and I'm thankful.
Women back then were more appreciative and caring for their men also. He came home to a warm home from sweating and beating the brow to have a loving respectful woman who provided food, warmth, love, and thankful heart.
Now days? shite. Naw they weren't as miserable as you think baw.

The title of this picture should be white privilege 
I bet they all put on their black face while under ground. But seriously on my grandmothers father's side. This where where they started working when they came over from Hungary. They later settled in La. close to Albany and where part of the Hungariun Settlement.

You do what you gotta do to survive baw. Going down in a salt mine ain’t much different. Only the sardine can is a little bigger.

This thread is great. All the south Louisiana dickwads that work in the plants sitting here giving everyone a lecture about “working in conditions like that to feed your family”.

Miners make pretty decent money. With modern technology it really isn't that difficult work today
