Butte Hoisting Engineers Strike Leaves Mines Idle
In Butte 28 hoisting engineers from Anaconda Parrot and Washoe left their engines Tuesday night, closing mines and triggering widespread idle work. Union leaders repudiated the action and pledged to honor the prior agreement while outlining why hoisting engineers deserve higher pay for their specialized, high-stress duties. The union plans a gradual reopening as replacements are trained, with two to three weeks expected for full resumption.
