It is really quite simple: if you do not have a union to represent you and your interests, then you will have to settle for what the company will pay you. If you want a raise all you can do is beg. If the shop is unsafe, you cannot get them to make it safer. They will hire less experienced less qualified people for more money than the pay you.


The coal mines of Appalachia were abandoned because they were mined out, strip mined Wyoming coal is cheaper, and there have been huge amounts of natural gas discovered. Gas is easier to mine, deliver and use than coal.
