Abstract
Records of the Miners Right To Strike Committee, a group affiliated with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA), documenting a strike against the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association (BCOA) in 1977 that resulted in a 1978 contract. Collection includes bulletins, handbills, newsletters, and other material issued by the Committee. Also includes "Statement of the Bituminous Coal Operators' Association (BCOA), presented at the First Session of the National Bituminous Coal Wage Agreement Negotiations, Washington, D.C., 10-6-1977". There is an UMWA - BCOA Arbitration Review Board document (Decision No. 108; Appeal No. 574; between Consolidation Coal Company and Local Union 6114, District 29; arbitrated by Theodore Dyke; dated 30 May 1977; ARB File No. 29-77-601). A one-page photocopy from Vol. 3, No. 26, 4 July 1977, of "Coal Week", describes President Jimmy Carter's position in reference to negotiations between the UMWA and BCOA.
