Miners Demand Higher Coal Prices Across Western PA
In Pittsburgh on June 4, United Mine Workers support western Pennsylvania coal operators’ push for a higher OPA price for coal. Operators seek an extra 10 cents per ton, arguing current 14-cent rise is inadequate. UMW leaders warn small operators face disaster if prices don’t rise, and six district congressmen pledge to seek a conference with the OPA next week. Large operators say 22 percent of 129 miles operated losses would grow under the current scale.
