Pleasant with representatives of the local press on Monday of this week Emery Mining Company officials reiterated the companys desire to get a contract with the United Mine Workers and get their employees back to work. The company restated its position again Tuesday in a statement saying. We are still waiting on the union to resume our local talks. Very frankly, we and our employees are tired of the stalling from the District and International, an EMC spokesman said. LaVon Day, Director of Employee Relations; Larry Saling, Public Communications Manager; and Gary Robinson, Administrative Assistant for the company read prepared releases and answered questions Monday from editors of The Pyramid, only Sanpete press who showed up, and the Emery County Progress from Castle Dale. Day said in his opeing statement that since the company has over 200 miners from the Sanpete area, company officials felt they would like to come and meet with the press and express the companys interest in and appreciation for the people from this area who work at Emery Mining Company. Larry Saling read the public letter of information which the company had published in The Pyramid and the Price and Emery County papers last week notifying company employees and the public of the steps which have taken place since the start of coal contract negotiations. Saling reiterated, from the letter, the steps from the beginning of negotiations on the national level in September 1980 down to the present time. Among the steps was the withdrawal of Emery Mining Company from the Bituminous Coal Operators Association on April 21, 1981. The withdrawal was accepted by the BOAC on April 23, 1981. Emery Mining stated that the law allows a company to withdraw when certain circumstances are presented and cited the fact that the contract wasnt ratified, that national talks had broken off with no real idea of when they would begin again and stressed the economic hardships of EMC employees were suffering. Cabin destroyed by fire in Indianola INDIANOLA- - A fire at the cabin of Gordon Farmer six miles East of Indianola caused an estimated $10,000 in damages. The fire was reported Saturday evening by owners of another cabin about mile down the road from Farmers' cabin. Fairview Firechief, Odell Cox, said . that there was quite a bit of difficulty getting to the site because of the muddy road and that drives had to be used. It took approximately 50 minutes from the time the call was received until the fire crew could get to the structure. Cox said that there was no chance of saving the building. It is believed that the fire was caused by a fire left burning in a stove the day before by Gordon Farmer. It is also believed that the fire began in the chimney. These are the circumstances that the law recognizes as justification for withdrawal, the spokesman said. Union officials, however, Say that any withdrawal from the BOAC cannot be done during a negotiating session and will take effect only after the new contract is signed. recognize that the most important consideration is what is good for the employees is good for the organization that provides a living for all its Emery Mining. It follows naturally that what is best for the employees is best for their union. The EMC officials said their company is still willing and anxious to negotiate with the UMW and to get back to work. The next step to be taken by the company will be announced when it is decided which of several avenues to pursue, Day said. The company officials said that they had at first been told by UMW District 22 President Bill Jones that he was empowered to negotiate, but later Jones had said any negotiating OK has to come from the international headquarters in Washington, D.C. union EMC has for a month chased the representatives all over the country to give them our proposals. We recognize the UMWA as the bargaining agent for our employees. However, we nor our employees can wait much longer for the union to fulfill its Continued to page 2 c LaVon Day, Larry Saling and Gary Robinson discussed the mine strike with media reprsentatives here Monday morning. Emery Mining Corporation officials. Robinson said the local officers now feel that their hands are tied in the matter. He said the company was told the same thing at a meeting held recently with UMW District 22 local presidents, Rick Faccenetti of Deer Creek; Lee Hatton of Deseret Mine; and Grant Smith of Wilberg Mine. In answer to a query as to how the strike is affecting the company, Robinson said that Emery Mining Company is a contractoror Utah Power and Light Company. UPAL owns the mine and the equipment and EMC has the contract to mine the coal, therefore, each day the mine is not in production, the company loses money. Losses to the miners was give as $160 per man per day in wages and benefits with the mine now employing approximately 1,300 underground miners, the officials said.
