Labor chiefs predict coal contract approval by July
CIO Unified Mine Workers strategists expect Southern Appalachian soft coal producers to accept the two year labor contract before the July 7 deadline, with 12 of 13 operator associations reportedly acquiescing and only Harlan County operators resisting. The agreement mirrors last week’s northern deal, raising daily wages by seven to 14 dollars, and the nationwide strike line shifts to potential settlement as bankers and rail interests loom. Forty seven day old AFL CIO machinist strike in San Francisco Bay shipyards drags on with limited navy enrollment and divergent efforts to restart defense plant output, while North American aviation plant in Inglewood nears full production after troops end intervention.
