The Bootleg Coal Rebellion (ft. Mitch Troutman)

  • Résumé

  • The eighth and final session for 2023 of the Harry Bridges School of Labor was on The Bootleg Coal Rebellion. Join us as we learn about the story of the struggle of Anthracite Miners in rural Pennsylvania of the 1920s and their methods of fighting back against mine closures. We will have Special Guest Mitch Troutman, author of the book The Bootleg Coal Rebellion.

    The Harry Bridges School of Labor aims to educate the workers of America on the strength of unions and to foster a class-conscious workforce through Labor United Educational League. We aim to connect the struggles of the past with the struggles of today to empower the labor movement to transform from their present hopeless defensive fight into an aggressive attack upon Capital. We plan to empower workers with knowledge regardless of industry or type of work, bringing all workers to a class-oriented trade union movement.
