The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), which represents West Virginia coal miners, urged Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on Monday to revisit his opposition to President Biden's Build Back Better plan.

The labor union noted that the bill includes an extension of a fund that provides benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung disease, which expires at the end of the year. The UMWA also touted tax incentives that encourage manufacturers to build facilities in coalfields that would employ thousands of miners who lost their jobs.

“For those and other reasons, we are disappointed that the bill will not pass,” Cecil Roberts, the union’s president, said in a statement. “We urge Senator Manchin to revisit his opposition to this legislation and work with his colleagues to pass something that will help keep coal miners working, and have a meaningful impact on our members, their families, and their communities.”


This isn't over yet.

Amen! And also...

For 35 million families with 65 million kids that have relied on monthly child tax credit payments, the new year might not be a happy one.

Without the passage of President Joe Biden's $1.75 trillion economic plan, Build Back Better, the monthly payments will expire, and the child tax credit will revert to its much smaller pre-pandemic form. The enhanced payment due families on Dec. 15 may be the last.

Maserati Joe is getting plenty of support from right wing retards lining up to collect those child tax credits as they bitch about Biden who gave it to them.

But, who's surprised at the hypocricy?

Maybe Biden should change the name to FETUS Tax Credits to get some Republican support. Or as Mitch McConnell calls it - the TODDLER TAKEOVER.
 
Some are happy to send laborers below and sacrifice....while they say no to anything that helps those workers. Sad.
 
Trump saved coal mining. Those coal miners should show some allegiance to Trump and the GOP.

What a stupid lie.. Incredibly stupid.. Trump didn't save a single coal mining job.

Over 11,000 Coal Miners Lost Their Jobs In The Last Year ...
Apr 01, 2016 · Bureau of Labor Statistics reports there were around 56,700 coal miners employed across the U.S. as of March 2016, which is down about 11,200 jobs from March 2015 when some
 
The coal mining union means the top echelon that stands to get even richer. I'd be interested to hear a vote from the rank and file.

I'm pretty sure they don't want him to reconsider.

WV voted 70% Trump.
 
Hell. Coal usage went up 5% this year because renewables can't deliver.


Coal’s decline as an energy source is one of a few government data points that show the decline of coal in the United States. Coal mining jobs have decreased since April 1985, when the industry employed 178,300 people, or one in 544 nonfarm jobs. February 2021 employment was 76% lower, at 43,000.
The state of the US coal industry: Americans now use more..

Good.

Let people pay for their own children. Why is it the responsibility of other to do so?

If you can tell us all why that there is poverty in this nation and even maybe children going to be hungry at night after over 55 years of the Great Society it would be refreshing for us all. South Korea was closer to backwater back then than a high tech nation we see today. China was closer to desperation and is now a burgeoning superpower even with many issues. All these programs whether they were of good intentions or purposely put into law, have kept expanding and expanding some more as more problems come from the so called government fixes for utopia.
