In a recent interview with two people who were involved in the decertification of the United Steelworkers Local 9424-3, they feel the decertification was beneficial to all the workers at Chino Mine.
"I'd like to say the bigger reason why I began the petition to decertify the union was because I wanted the same thing as the workers who were not part of the union," Shane Shores said. "When the union started, it was needed to get workers better pay, better benefits and to be equal to other miners. That's what I wanted and got without the union."
