Lewis threatens renegotiation as contract ends under gray area terms
Union leader Lewis says a termination clause from the last operators contract, voided in March, carried into the government pact. He alleges the Gray-Lewis contract was breached by the Federal Coal Mines Administration and plans to negotiate Friday for new terms, possibly including wage freezes or shorter work weeks without pay loss. If Krug does not honor the November 1 meeting, the contract may end November 1 instead of November 20, risking funds and welfare incentives.
