Coal Cost Debate Over Wage System in Western Mines
CALGARY Jan 1 Abolition of the contract system in western Canada coal mines in favor of a straight day wage of 14.05 would raise production costs says the Western Canada Bituminous Coal Operators' Association. Miners currently earn 14 to 17 daily under contracts. The union backs 14.05 as the basic day wage replacing contracts. Operators claim day wages yield about 40 percent less coal. They propose wage cuts for surface and underground workers and seek abolition of the welfare fund, while the union seeks a 15 cent a ton boost to the fund. Negotiations with the Domestic Coal Operators' Association and District 18, United Mine Workers of America continue.
