Concessions Stir UMW Local In Trumka District
UMW Local 1846 in Waynesburg grapples with a yearlong contract negotiated by International Rep. Richard Barchiesi with Dick Coal Co. that cut sick days and holiday pay, downgraded jobs, and bypassed a vote by about 500 members. Local president Ron Opel resigns amid claims of rushed talks and lack of member input. Trumka cited but not consulted on the pact, while union officials deny knowledge of the agreement. District 4 miners in southwestern Pennsylvania face altered classifications and reduced seniority protections.
