Um, no. Cecil Roberts has been president of the UMWA for a very long time, since Trumka went to the AFL-CIO. Trumka was president during Pittston, when Roberts was the on-the-ground leader, including of the civil disobedience.

Roberts was involved in Miners for Democracy, and incidentally, he is an effective orator; I have heard him several times.
