Illinois mine operators claim unstable industry and union control
A delegation of Illinois mine operators told the U S Coal Commission that the industry is unstable due to union control and strikes. They cited 25 years of idling, losses of more than three years of operation, and calls for a plan to keep workers continuously employed. They urged rules to curb union power, oppose labor-saving tech, and limit sympathetic strikes.
