Prices rise as OPA estimates coal operators absorb costs
OPA analysis shows the Government-UMW contract adds 1912 cents per hour to miners wages and 5 cents a ton for health and welfare. Vacation pay rises to 100 dollars. With 550 million tons expected, operators’ costs may reach 280 million dollars, with 57.75 million borne by operators and 222.75 million by customers. About one fifth of production comes from captive mines. The six day week triggers a 12 cent deduction from increases if price hikes are revoked. Operators’ shared rise averages around 39 cents a ton after adjustments.
