miners union
Underground workers' collective
A miners union is a labor organization representing workers who extract coal, ore, or other minerals from the earth.
These unions negotiate wages, safety conditions, and benefits with mining companies.
Mining's dangerous conditions made it an early site of labor organizing: The miners union called a strike over ventilation standards.
Often appears as miners' union with the apostrophe.
