That's a bit UK ... and out of date. Are there any miners in the UK any more, let alone enough for a union? Laugh | :laugh:

[edit]
I just checked: the NUM is still going, but it's a bit low on membership: from teh mighty 950,000 it had, it;'s down to it's last 100: Now down to just 100 active members - the decline of the once-mighty NUM - Wales Online[^]

I'm surprised it still has that many after the Thatcher era wholesale destruction of the mining industry and the communities that relied upon it.
