Miners fear sale could imperil UMW contract in WV
Union miners at Cyprus-Amax Coal Co. mines in central and southern West Virginia worry a planned sale to Addington Enterprises Inc. could exclude them from a national UMW contract. UMW President Cecil Roberts plans to visit the area to discuss concerns while Cyprus-Amax has pledged to sign the new contract if the Addington deal isn’t completed by June 30.

West Virginia mining rules face federal permit clash
Federal Mine Safety chief says state laws allowing larger mountaintop removal operations could be blocked by EPA permit denials. EPA may reclaim water pollution permits as Gov Underwood expands permitted acreage from 250 to 450. McAteer cites WV’s mining hubris while noting rising fatalities in the industry with 3 deaths in 1998 and 7 nationwide in 1997.
