DESCRIPTION:Justice In The Coal Fields (56 min.) USA 1995\nby Anne Lewis \nThis year 
 marks the 20th anniversary of the 1989 United Mine Workers strike against 
 the Pittston Coal Company. This film by labor videographer Anne Lewis 
 documents this militant strike and occupation of the company’s factory. 
 Over 4,000 miners and their families were arrested in this struggle against 
 union busting and the massive use of scabs to break the union and destroy 
 the medical benefits of 1,500 pensioners, widows and disabled miners. 
 Hundreds of state police were involved in escorting the scabs in this 
 effort. The company also faced a $64 million fine from state and federal 
 judges that was used to weaken the union nationally and was supported by 
 Clinton’s NLRB Chair Bill Gould.\nSee
