Consumer costs rise as wage hikes pass to public in coal strike
OPA raises soft coal prices by about 40 percent to offset wage increases tied to the United Mine Workers strike. The burden shifts to consumers as transportation and production costs rise. Officials argue the wage rise boosts pay, not living standards, while the strike cost is absorbed largely by the public. The piece warns that higher costs will erode purchasing power despite higher wages.
