In June, the union reported incidents of vehicular assault on the picket line on three consecutive days. Picketing continues around the clock seven days a week. On June 22, the coal miners came to New York City to picket Warrior Met’s megacapitalist hedge fund investors on Wall Street, denouncing giants like BlackRock for union-busting tactics.
