Talk:Economy of West Virginia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The effort of unions to organize miners is a violent chapter in the state's history. In 1933, the President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to call the National Guard in order to forcibly unionize parts of Raleigh County. Nevertheless, labor organizing persisted under the leadership of John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers."

This sounds strange, the problem was caused by unions, and the president attmpted to unionise to resolve the problem?
