UMW to vote on new five year pact in coal industry
FAIRMONT AP Members of the United Mine Workers were to vote on a five year contract with the Bituminous Coal Operators Association. The tentative pact would raise pay by four dollars an hour over five years and improve retiree pensions health insurance and other benefits. Active miners would receive a $1000 bonus in January. About 16 000 union members nationwide were to vote on the deal covering workers at unionized subsidiaries of Consol Energy. If ratified it would take effect January 1. The UMW once had over 700 000 members but waning dues have reduced its influence. Union officials say the agreement could set the standard for future industry contracts as they continue negotiations with other coal companies.
