Coal talks inch forward as union blocks nonunion coal
Washington AP Five hours of talks between industry and union negotiators yielded limited progress on hiring nonunion subcontractors, the central hurdle in reaching a new contract to end the 58 day coal strike. Sam Church, president of the United Mine Workers, said progress is slow while planning Sunday talks and a bargaining council review of any settlement. The UMW previously rejected a tentative three year contract 58 days into the strike, and now seeks restoration of a $1.90 per ton royalty to fund union health and retirement plans, plus removal of a 45 day probation, a five day workweek, and industry reimbursement of miners health costs during the strike.
