Coal Miners Ordered Back to Work After Pay Board Approval
Union officials order striking coal miners back to the pits following federal Pay Board approval of first year terms in a new contract. The 11 percent wage rise with 5.8 percent in benefits clears the way for production to resume in the soft coal sector after an Oct. 1 shutdown by 80,000 workers. Some miners dispute missed compensation for disabled workers and widows, while dockworkers talks in Miami Beach progress toward a possible agreement.

Pay Board Approves Pay Hike For Striking Miners
The Pay Board authorizes a wage increase for striking miners about 16.8 percent in the first year, far above Phase 2 guidelines of 5.5 percent. UMWA President Boyle calls miners to return to work. Critics from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce condemn the decision as inflationary as CPI edges up 0.2 percent in October.
