Coal mining may come back thanks to China CP, Halifax Daily News, Canada
Depending on production methods, Burchell believes anywhere from 75 to 500 miners could be employed at Donkin.
Whatever the numbers, he's certain the workers would want to be unionized.
'I think our history shows what happens when you're not represented by a union,'' he said, referring to the 1992 explosion at the non-union Westray mine.
Twenty-six miners were killed in the blast, one of several mining disasters that took the lives of hundreds over the years in Nova Scotia.------------------------------------------- posted 10:02 AM :: reference link ::
