Striking mine workers at the Warrior Met Mines in Alabama took their picket line to the New York City office of BlackRock this week. The multi-trillion dollar investment management service is the biggest investor in the Mines, where 1,1000 coal miners have been on strike since April. The workers have preserved despite multiple vehicular attacks, arrests, and intimidation. Host Monica Cruz joins the strikers at the picket line in midtown Manhattan. PLUS striking workers in Italy continue on after a truck drives through a picket line, killing a union leader.
