Mickey O’Brien’s ‘One Day Longer’ has been played on picket lines around the world
In 2008, Mickey O’Brien was hired on at Vale, following the mining tradition of his father and grandfather before him.
It was a formative time for O’Brien, then still a young man, as he launched himself into union activism. He felt it was a good time to re-release the song, which had never before been made available through streaming services. Nearly 15 years after the strike began, O’Brien is still a Vale miner, and still involved with Local 6500. He’s also been busy making a name for himself as a hip-hop musician, having just released his fifth project in as many years in fall 2023, and touring internationally.
