Coal price hike authorized to cover wage increases
Washington reports a $1 per ton increase in coal prices to households to cover mine wage ceiling rises and related 25 to 50 cent increases on industrial sizes. The move, approved by the Stabilizer Saturday night, follows a three week stoppage and affects about 68 000 miners with smaller raises for 4 000 anthracite workers. Officials say average prices rise to about 75 per ton for domestic and industrial users. The price boost aims to offset labor costs from portal to portal work and may prompt operator margin reviews by OPA.
