Joseph Yablonski
Joseph Albert "Jock" Yablonski (March 3, 1910 – December 31, 1969) was an American labor leader in the United Mine Workers in the 1950s and 1960s. He was murdered in 1969 by killers hired by a union political opponent, Mine Workers president Tony Boyle. His death led to significant reforms in the union.
==Early life and union career==
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 3, 1910, the son of Polish immigrants,〔Richard Jensen, "Yablonski, Joseph A 'Jock,'" in ''Encyclopedia of United States labor and working-class history'' (New York: Taylor and Francis, 2007), 1:1555-6.〕 Yablonski began working in the mines as a boy. He became active in the United Mine Workers after his father was killed in a mine explosion. He was first elected to union office in 1934. In 1940, Yablonski was elected as a representative to the international executive board, and in 1958 was appointed president of UMW District 5.〔"Yablonski of U.M.W. Slain With Wife and Daughter," ''New York Times,'' January 6, 1970.〕
Yablonski clashed with Tony Boyle, who became president of the UMW in 1963, over how the union should be run and his view that Boyle did not adequately represent the miners. In 1965, Boyle removed Yablonski as president of District 5 (under reforms enacted by Boyle, district presidents were appointed, not elected). In May 1969, Yablonski announced his candidacy for president of the union. As early as June, Boyle was discussing the need to kill him.〔
