Lewis faces new injunction over unfair labor practices
John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers face a potential court injunction after refusing to bargain with the Southern Coal Producers Association. Judge T Alan Goldsborough previously fined the UMW $2,130,000 for back‑to‑work order violations. The NLRB seeks to restart talks within five days and to hold a show cause hearing on June 1, with potential contempt if Lewis defies the order. The Southern Association represents 20 companies and 125,000 miners who produce about a third of the nation’s soft coal.
