Appalachia Miners Slow to Return After New Soft Coal Pact
Only a few miners in West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania have voted to resume work under the new three year soft coal contract signed in New York. The UMW says pay and benefits rise 30 percent, while the coal industry cites 39 percent and a $1.2 billion cost. The Pay Board set 5.5 percent annual increases for Phase 2 of Nixon's program. The pact ends a walkout that idled up to 100,000 miners nationwide. A Fairmont meeting saw a clash between a union official and a dissident Miners for Democracy representative over sick pay provisions.
