Miller Delays Decision On Relocating HQ Until 1975 Or Later
United Mine Workers President Arnold Miller says the union’s headquarters will likely not move from Washington to the coal fields before 1975 or later. He will focus this year on contract talks, with relocation work deferred. Four WV sites and one in western Pennsylvania are under consideration, with Sutton near Braxton County a favored option due to proximity to major coalfields and transport. Miller notes the decision involves broad considerations beyond personal preference.
