Siberian coal miners end 11 day strike in landmark accord
Siberian coal miners ended an 11 day strike today in a landmark Tass backed agreement granting mines independence from the Coal Ministry. The pact allows independent sale of surplus output within the Soviet Union and abroad starting August 1 1989, plus price and norm setting by mines themselves. The settlement includes pay raises for overtime and evening shifts, a Sunday day off, expanded maternity leave, and new miner benefits for families of killed workers and retirees. Strikes had spread from Kuzbass through Donbass Vorkuta and Karaganda, testing Gorbachev era reforms and central planning limits.
