Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren asked the CEO of BlackRock to intervene on behalf of Warrior Met workers who have been on strike for nearly 10 months.
; it has gone on so long that many workers have picked up other jobs to support themselves and their families during the strike,The United Mine Workers of America members are hoping to reverse concessions made in contract negotiations in 2016, including a pay cut of $6 an hour, worse benefits and more dangerous working conditions. Currently, the company has offered a raise of only $1.50 per hour over five years and has not budged on restoring health care and pension benefits.
