## UMWA In The News
|
||
|
||
*"To even contemplate placing a landfill on this historic site is not only disrespectful to UMWA’s legacy and the labor movement but an outright travesty against the community that rallied during the strike to safeguard their families’ well-being,"* Roberts said. *"We adamantly oppose the Moss 3 Landfill, and we call upon every member of our community to stand firm in saying **NO** to this outrageous proposal. Join us in preserving the sanctity of our history and the legacy of those who fought tirelessly for workers’ rights."*
