United Mine Worker delegates at the District 5 convention in New Stanton Pa call for replacing union management grievance umpires with a three person panel chosen from the county voter list. The change, backed by District 5 President Louis Antal, aims to shift the balance in bargaining with Bituminous Coal Operators Association and is expected to be resisted by operators.
