Convention Called To Remove Miller From UMW
The United Mine Workers IEB voted two to one to call a special convention to oust UMW President Arnold Miller. A Miller ally said the move is a political maneuver by rival Mike Trbovich and predicted it will fail without 75,000 member signatures. The move reportedly lacks formal malfeasance charges and would follow a 5 percent petition and a 30 percent recall petition.
