PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – A group close to the hearts of many West Virginians wants Senator Joe Manchin to rethink his stance on the Rebuild Better bill.

United Mineworkers of America say they are disappointed that the Rebuild Better bill won’t pass soon.

Any movement in the plan died out over the weekend when Manchin (D-WV) pulled out of the talks.

Manchin resisted the excessive cost of the act.

Now, the largest coal mining union in the country is asking him to reconsider.
