1. A Story of Revenge
BLOOD RUNS COAL is a story about a corrupt union leader who kills his rival. But he is overthrown by a lawyer’s son of a murdered coal miner. This story takes place in the late 1960s in Pennsylvania, United States. Recorded one of the most famous criminal cases in the history of United States labor unions.
This case involves Jock Yablonski, a coal worker who is also an activist in a trade union called the United Mine Workers. He is known as a worker and activist who is persistent in defending workers’ rights, from safety, good working conditions, to health benefits. Apart from that, he is also a second generation coal miner after his father died in a mine explosion.
During the election for union chairman, Yablonski ran and faced the union chairman who would run for two terms named Tony Boyle. There were complicated problems between the two of them when Yablonski challenged Boyle. Boyle, while serving as head of the labor union, also committed corruption in the labor union. That’s what made Yablonski persistent in opposing Tony Boyle’s bid to become head of the union again.
This problem became more complicated between the two of them until a murder case occurred. This murder was the beginning of the trade union revolution in the United States.
This murder resulted in the Yablonski family being killed on New Year’s Eve, with the exception of Chip Yablonski FOR4D. Because of the unfortunate incident that happened to his father, Chip did not remain silent. He petitioned the Department of Labor to get justice for his father.
