abstract   bibtex   
This paper provides historical context for the precipitous decline of unionization in coal. It examines the contributions of technological/geographic shifts, government land use and environmental policies, and the changing legal/political environment for unions. Finally, it explores the impact of the internal struggles within the UMW, particularly around the crucial 1978 coal strike.
