United Mine Workers of America Director of Government Affairs Phil Smith was a featured guest on the Nov. 16 edition of America’s Work Force Union Podcast. He spoke about carbon capture and storage, the Remington Arms Factory moving to Alabama and the old Remington owners terminating all but 22 of the original 600 employees at the plant and not giving them the severance pay they were owed according to their collective bargaining agreement.

Andrew Tinkham with the Office of the Ohio Consumers Counsel also joined AWF Union Podcast today to speak with host Ed “Flash” Ferenc. He discussed Ohio House Bill 772 and how if it was passed it would repeal and replace the controversial Ohio House Bill 6, and how consumers can prepare their homes for the winter with some energy saving tips.
