UMWA faces a tough road ahead. Roberts understands this and is leading his union into the 21st century. Secondly, we must organize. Our greatest strength is our members. Lastly, we must diversify.
Diversification is the wave of the future.
Roberts' ability to rally members is another one of his assets. We attended a seminar in Washington, D.C., and he had our attention. He'll never put you to sleep. Despite his meteoric rise, Roberts has not forgotten his roots. Also, he'll never forget his time in Vietnam.
