Description: 
A female miner talks about her recent hand injury, which happened at the non-union Westmoreland mine and led to a worker's compensation dispute. She joined the union hoping for some sort of job protection. She thinks a union mine would be a safer workplace, with more emphasis on safety and less on production. She was unable to get a safety committee hearing after her accident. In an attempt to ward off unionization, opponents to the U.M.W.A have spread lurid tales about possible threats from union members.
