Tanco Strikers Challenge ‘cheap’ settlement
The union blasts Tanco for low settlement offers citing prior financial trouble in 1970 and 1973. They say the firm now hides behind guidelines that do not apply and keeps a 5 percent pension deduction of about $70 monthly from miners, delaying access until retirement. They demand fairer terms and immediate relief from deductions.
