Miners Choose Union Agent at San Xavier Mine
Striking workers at the San Xavier mine near Tucson voted 181 to 7 to be represented by the International Union of Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers, with a separate election at the San Xavier mill showing 11 to 0 in favor of AFL representation. About 250 workers are employed at both sites, and the dispute stems from alleged abusive treatment by a shift boss. The election, triggered by a June petition, was supervised by NLRB officials and observers from the company and unions. The IUMMSW expects certification after five days, as talks to settle the dispute proceed locally with Grover J. Duff and W. Edward Morgan serving for the workers’ side.
