Not a bunch of dumb coal miners UMWA reform test
Pittsburgh AP reports Arnold Miller with the United Mine Workers calls for a reform movement to show miners are capable leaders. The reform effort follows a deadly power struggle after Jock Yablonski's murder. Delegates will rewrite the union constitution to boost democracy, curb abuses, and add clarity to contracts and leadership. Negotiations with operators loom as Miller pushes open doors and safety gains amid an energy crisis and rising coal demand.
