Union Leaders Split Over Board Meeting Instigation
Fired both men dispute reports that the International Executive Board convened this week at the board's urging to discuss alleged USW interference in United Steelworkers actions. Miller says the meeting was a routine session on various union matters. Nelson notes Rick Banks was moved to contracts and negotiations to apply new skills, not as a demotion. Registrations are open for fall term prekindergarten at Kiddie Kollege Storyland in South Charleston Kentucky.
