Scale dispute shadows Illinois quarry pay rise under protest
The second strike at Southern Illinois limestone quarries ended with a signed contract but workers are paid under protest as talks stall over a May 1 raise. The contract calls for 4 cents an hour yearly increases, while a 5.5 percent ceiling and a 40 cent hike were debated by the CISC. Some quarries, including Anna Quarries Inc., have begun paying the 40 cent rise conditionally while the operating engineers seek formal guidance, and notices accompany paychecks indicating protest pay.

Quarries dispute 40-cent pay hike. CISC ruling sought
About 175 workers at five quarries are paid under protest as a 40 cent hourly increase remains in dispute. Simonds says a CISC opinion could affirm the raise, while unions note a disagreement over whether quarries fall under the guidelines. If a ruling lowers the increase, the difference could be recoverable. The protested sites include Anna and Southern Illinois Stone Co. of Buncombe, Campbell Hill’s Tinous Quarry, Rixby Barnard Quarry at Cave-In-Rock, and Denny and Simpson Quarry.
