NLRB Calls Coal Pact Voided Over Worker Coercion
The National Labor Relations Board urges voiding a contract between seven Pennsylvania coal firms and the Southern Labor Union after trial examiner Thomas F. Maher found workers were coerced with threats of job loss to join the union. He noted company meetings on company time and property aided a UMW organizing drive, while UMW organizers were barred from company premises. Firms named include Mears Coal Co and Dixon Run Coal Co of Marion Center, Penn Hill Coal Corp and MY Coal Co of Indiana, Peles Brothers Coal Co and Chestnut Ridge Mining Co of Glen Campbell and Copper Valley Coal Co of Clymer. The ruling orders nullification of contracts unless the union wins bargaining rights in a board-supervised election and bars wage increases tied to the Southern Union until then. Maher called the Southern Labor Union’s Pennsylvania push its first venture there, amid long UMW organizing activity. earlier NLRB actions had nullified an election after threats to close a mine.
