Work crew cut dispute at Harrisburg Coal Mine idle
The Harrisburg Coal Co mine near Crab Orchard remains idle amid a 52 percent cut in the work crew. A spokesman said layoffs were decided by seniority and classification after a prior UMWA contract, the plant idled since Oct. 1 since the nationwide strike. The strike and later contract caused continued stoppage and a cancelled unfair labor practice charge. Police briefs follow with minor charges in Marion Carterville and Zeigler.
