Why mine pact was rejected by the coal strike notes
The United Mine Workers rejected a proposed settlement as President Carter invoked the Taft Hartley Act. The summary cites three main issues: wildcat strikes and local safety disputes, shifting health benefit costs to workers, and pension inequities between pre and post 1976 retirees. Wages offered a modest three year rise, with $1.80 total over current $7.80, though pay was not the main rejection factor.
