About: Western Federation of Miners

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Western Federation of Miners (WFM) was a labor union that gained a reputation for militancy in the mines of the western United States and British Columbia. Its efforts to organize both hard rock miners and smelter workers brought it into sharp conflicts – and often pitched battles – with both employers and governmental authorities. One of the most dramatic of these struggles occurred in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado in 1903–1904; the conflicts were thus dubbed the Colorado Labor Wars. The WFM also played a key role in the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1905, but left that organization several years later.

  • The Western Federation of Miners (WFM) was a labor union that gained a reputation for militancy in the mines of the western United States and British Columbia. Its efforts to organize both hard rock miners and smelter workers brought it into sharp conflicts – and often pitched battles – with both employers and governmental authorities.

The WFM also played a key role in the founding of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1905, but left that organization several years later. The WFM changed its name to the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers (more familiarly referred to as Mine Mill) in 1916. After a period of decline it revived in the early days of the New Deal and helped found the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) in 1935. The Mine Mill union was expelled from the CIO in 1950 during the post-war red scare for refusing to shed its Communist leadership. After spending years fighting off efforts by the United Steelworkers of America (USWA) to raid its membership, Mine Mill and the Canadian Auto Workers merged in 1967 and were able to retain the name Mine Mill Local 598.

  • 서부광부연맹(Western Federation of Miners'; WFM)은 미국 서부와 캐나다 브리티시컬럼비아에서 활동한 급진적 노동조합이다. 광부 및 제련 노동자를 조합원으로 조직했으며, 광산업주 및 정부당국과 극렬한 투쟁을 벌였다. 그 중 대표적인 것이 1903–04년 콜로라도 크리플크리크에서 벌어진 콜로라도 노동전쟁이다. WFM은 1905년 세계산업노동자연맹(IWW)의 창설 멤버로서 가맹했지만 몇 년 뒤 IWW를 탈퇴했다. WFM은 1916년 광산공장제련노동자국제동맹(International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers), 약칭 광공노조(Mine Mill)로 개칭한다. 다소의 침체기를 거쳐 뉴딜시대 초기에 회생하여 1935년 (CIO) 창설에 참여했다. 그러나 1950년 당시 CIO는 광공노조를 퇴출시켰다. (USWA)에 조합원을 계속 빼앗긴 끝에 광공노조 미국지부는 1967년 USWA에, 캐나다지부는 (CAW)에 흡수되었다. (ko)
