Miller pushed a lengthy ratification plan after his election as president. Coal negotiations began September 3 with a tentative deal reached November 13, then revised by the bargaining council. A further tentative pact was later agreed under Usery and William F Simon. The contract adds major pay hikes, pension boosts, an extra holiday, more vacation, paid sick leave, safety measures, more union jobs, and extended health coverage for widows.
