Pension plan approval stirs coal strike talks in Washington
AP dispatch notes Judge Goldsborough cleared a $100 monthly pension plan for United Mine Workers retirees 62 and older after Lewis urged a board of inquiry to curb a potential July lockout. The ruling, part of a broader settlement with Senator Bridges, allows resumption of contract talks and outlines pension fund administration amid Taft Hartley constraints. The decision clarifies that pension payments may proceed with a trustee vote, not operator consent, and that retirees from other employers may qualify.
