UMW Local 5869 president David Vidovich says his unit will strike on Friday, joining District 17 in Charleston, if the contract extension is rejected. Local leaders oppose extending the pact citing fears of division, pension changes, and a 45 day probation proposal, delaying union ratification after expiration.
