Settlement Talks Hint at 10 Cent Increase Per Ton
Continued from page one, miners could see a 50 cents per day rise under a proposed 10 cent per ton increase. Operators project about $297 extra per miner daily, while Lewis may resist. Last year’s settlement gave a bit over $3.50 daily. Lewis seeks Ezra Van Horn’s resignation as operator trustee of the Orton welfare and retirement fund amid legal blocks on $40 million in payments. Federal Judge T Alan Goldsborough ruled pensions can be paid without a majority vote of trustees. RNH and others have approved payments.
