United Mine Workers face 50 percent pay cut without raise
At a wage price policy meeting in Washington DC, United Mine Workers district president George J. Title warned that without a wage increase miners could see a 40 to 50 percent pay cut as production returns to normal. He noted no basic wage change since 1941 and that overtime pay has kept earnings high, but a six day week could force layoffs and very low weekly pay for some workers. He urged action within six months to avoid unemployment and preserve coal production as veterans rejoin the workforce.
