Coal strike devastates steel, mining, and transport sectors
The coal shortage cripples Illinois Steel and Carnegie-Illinois, idling thousands of workers as 69,000 in coal-related plants face layoffs. Officials warn up to 60 percent of Kentucky factories may shut in 10 days, while U S Steel loses pay and workers’ livelihoods rise with ongoing AFL United Mine Workers action and Progressive miners strikes. A broad embargo on freight and reduced rail passenger service aims to curb coal use, impacting oil-burning lines as well.
