Wildcat Strikes Lift Cost of Coal to WV
The Charleston Gazette notes UMW leaders allege operators may provoke unauthorized walkouts to curb production when coal prices sag. State records show wildcat strikes cost 341,700 man-days and 5.8 million tons in 1968, rising to 1.8 million man-days and 24.4 million tons in 1971, inflated by a 45 day industrywide contract strike.
