Miners Walkout Tied to Pension Fight Under Taft Hartley
The walkout stems from miners' demand for a pension of 100 a month for 60 year olds with 20 years in mining. A presidentially authorized board of inquiry has reported to the White House and may trigger court intervention to halt the strike for up to 59 days. The National Labor Relations Board would poll 1.4 million miners on the offer and a five day window would follow before any injunction could be dissolved.
