The United Mine Workers of America (UMW or UMWA) is a North American labor union best known for representing coal miners. Today, the Union also represents health care workers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers and public employees in the United States and Canada. Although its main focus has always been on workers and their rights, the UMW of today also advocates for better roads, schools, and universal health care. By 2014, coal mining had largely shifted to open pit mines in Wyoming, and there were only 60,000 active coal miners. The UMW was left with 35,000 members, of whom 20,000 were coal miners, chiefly in underground mines in Kentucky and West Virginia. However it was responsible for pensions and medical benefits for 40,000 retired miners, and for 50,000 spouses and dependents.

  • L'United Mine Workers of America (« Syndicat des travailleurs miniers d'Amérique (du Nord) ») est un syndicat nord-américain qui représente les employés du secteur minier. Créé le 25 janvier 1890 à Columbus dans l'Ohio, l'UMWA a joué un rôle essentiel dans l'émergence des libertés syndicales aux États-Unis, notamment lors de la présidence de John L. Lewis entre 1920 et 1960. Pendant le New Deal de Franklin D. Roosevelt, et lors de l'adoption du National Industrial Recovery Act en 1933, les syndiqués se sont répandus dans l'ensemble du territoire des États-Unis, finissant par représenter la plupart des employés des mines de charbon.
