Union mine shutdown alleged as workers forced to sign UMW cards
National Labor Relations Board general counsel Robert N. Denham filed an unfair labor practice complaint against District 31 of the United Mine Workers. He said UMW members blocked mine entrances in four West Virginia coal mines and kept non‑union workers below ground until they signed UMW cards during a six week shutdown over the dispute. The action cites filings by Rubbel Coal Hartman Bergman and Kefever coal firms. The complaint was issued in Pittsburgh by acting NLRB regional director Paul F. Shupp.
