Fifth Circuit backs miners on measuring mine time claim
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld iron ore miners claim that working time starts from entering the mine until leaving. The case contrasts with soft coal rules where workday begins at the face of the seam. Lewis argues underground travel adds 1 hour 20 minutes daily and seeks weekly pay rather than daily, citing inequities. The wage hour debate features a 1940 wage board letter and disputes over authority within the United Mine Workers.
