More than 1,000 members of the United Mine Workers of America are planning to once again carry their ongoing strike against Alabama’s Warrior Met Coal to New York City.
Members are planning to picket the Manhattan offices of BlackRock, an investment management corporation that is the world’s largest asset manager, Wednesday morning until noon.
The union says BlackRock is the largest shareholder in Warrior Met Coal, the Alabama company the UMWA has been on strike against since April 1.
Union members and allies from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, as well as New York, are planning the show of solidarity as the strike looks to stretch into its fifth month. About 1,100 miners have been striking for better pay and benefits.

Biden's ears perked up at "miners" until he realized which ones they meant.

But is this the actual reason they're striking?
Or is this another, "Cubans are protesting because of COVID" bullshite deflection/narrative?

Because Blackrock is planning on shutting down Warrior Met. All those miners will be unemployed.

Blackrock needs to be investigated more. They have their hands in everything.
