Arnold Miller are not inspirational at all.
Arnold Miller hasn't been UMW Pres. for decades. Richard Trumka has been for a long time. Wasn't he the hack that was Pres. after union reformer Jock Yablonski was killed?
For some footage of Miller see the great documentary by Barbara Kopple, "Harlan County, U.S.A, " from 1976. http://www.cabincreekfilms.com/meet_main.html >...Ms. Kopple produced and directed Harlan County USA, winner of the 1977 Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary. In 1991, Harlan County USA was named to the National Film Registry by Congress and designated an American Film Classic.
