Coal Leaders Fight for Contract Talks in NLRB Action
Oral arguments followed a response by NLRB General Counsel Denham to the United Mine Workers motion to dismiss. UMW leader Lewis did not attend. The Southern Coal Producers Association sought to force talks with Lewis, claiming unfair labor practices over past negotiation stagnation. A hearing was set to show cause why an injunction should not be issued to restart negotiations. The injunction and a June 30 expiration loom as miners may resume the "no contract, no work" stance, while Lewis faces a Goldsborough injunction barring a new strike.
