An examination of the aforementioned three incidents provides elucidation into this eventuality.
UMWA
A rally in April 1998 by the UMWA ended in a confrontation between union leaders and union members. The rally was designed to celebrate the eight-hour work day passed a century earlier, however; union members took occasion to protest the union's latest negotiation and contract. "The miners were protesting forced overtime and use of money from the union's strike fund for non-strike related purposes" (Welters, D. & Semple, C. June 22, 1998). As with the UAW's Constitution the board is vested with authority to use strike funds for any purpose with which they see fit.

In this case the union members objected to use strike funds from the $100 million dollar pool "to fight a global warming treaty, referring to a recent international treaty that places limits on emissions from carbon-based fuels" (Welters, D. & Semple, C. June 22, 1998). Succinctly, the protesters argue that "they are opposed to the use of the strike fund beyond what it was originally intended to do" (Welters, D. & Semple, C. June 22, 1998).

Drunk Driving The First Review: Eisenberg's Evaluation of policies' effectiveness in relation to drunk driving is the first policy review piece chosen for this article.
