PRICE, Utah—On Sunday, August 21, District 22 of the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) is sponsoring a solidarity picnic for the union-organizing struggle by the workers at the nearby Co-Op coal mine. The event will be held at Huntington State Park just a few miles north of Huntington, Utah, off State Route 10.

An invitation is being mailed out that includes an update on the Co-Op miners’ struggle written by Ann Fivecoat. She and Bob Fivecoat, a member of retirees Local 9958 of the UMWA, have helped organize this fund-raising effort for the miners.

The barbecue will begin at 11:00 a.m. and last through the day. Huntington Park is next to a lake where there is swimming, fishing and boating.

The Co-Op miners report they are working on getting a T-shirt printed with the words “UMWA Local 9957—Here We Come” in English and Spanish.

For more information, contact UMWA District 22 at (435) 637-2037.
