Richard Grimes Quotes

It took about six years to get the Black Lung stuff. It didn’t come just instantly. Sometimes, I see lobby groups, today, upset because they work the whole session and nothing happens Picture Quote #1

It’s like there was the Union, and then there’s the Union Management. In some of the strikes that I covered when I saw the strike starting to break, wasn’t necessarily when Management was giving in, more so than when the strikers were at odds with the Union Management Picture Quote #1

We had had several mine disasters where workers, some of the workers were rescued. It was, you know, who was lucky and who weren’t. Some would find the air pockets But, in this one, bam, it was just, everybody was gone and it greatly depressed the state Picture Quote #1

I can remember going back a couple of years later and, you know, think about it and I was doing a, kind of a political survey, door to door, and everything and I couldn’t find any men in the town. It was very strange, you know Picture Quote #1

The business manager was doing fine back in his office while they were out on the line, hungry. And, so they started to see a lot of that and there was, that maybe the leadership had its own cause. More so than the miners, you know, it was like a power struggle Picture Quote #1

You know, when something like, even like a coal mine disaster, or something like this, you think that well everybody’s going to make a run to be able to get out, but it happened to fast that they were just all dead Picture Quote #1
