    He must mean the 2021 state law that codified a 1990 state supreme court decision that called a teacher strike illegal. But using the actions of a group of coal miners, a state court and a legislature to demonstrate indoctrination seems like a strange comparison. I would compare maybe two public opinion surveys from those years.

      I think he’s talking about just how anti union most of the voters and politicians have become in WV. I don’t think he’s talking abiut any particular event.

        I don’t think the actions of the WV legislature necessarily reflects voters being anti-union. Lots of MAGA voters are finding out the hard way that the politicians who promised to protect them from socialism or wokeness or whatever don’t necessarily GAF about them.
