The Navajo Nation has finalized a collective bargaining agreement with a labor union. The United Mine Workers of America will represent about 1,300 tribal employees in a wide range of positions. The agreement, which took 15 years of negotiations, runs for three years, The Farmington Daily-Times reported. "Our Navajo sisters and brothers bring a special and refreshing outlook to our union, and we rejoice that they have been able to reach this agreement after a long process," UMWA International President Cecil E. Roberts said in a press release quoted by the paper. The union already represents about 800 Navajo Head Start employees. Get the Story:
