Miners plan to return to their jobs By Tiffany Erickson, Deseret Morning News
Striking miners in central Utah are now making plans to return to their jobs after being fired and shut out of a polygamous clan-owned coal mine.
In nine months of striking, the workers picketed, traveled the country speaking at other union gatherings and gained national and international support for their cause. On Thursday, it all paid off when the National Labor Relations Board ordered that their jobs be reinstated, and they plan to march to the mine on Tuesday to inform management they are returning.
United Mine Workers of America, the group organizing the strike against the Co-Op mine in Huntington, is calling the labor board's decision a major breakthrough. They received a draft settlement from the board that orders C.W. Mining Co. to reinstate all miners who were illegally fired.
