Members of United Mineworkers of America Local 1984 in Rangely, Colorado, settled a more than two-month strike against Blue Mountain Energy at their Deserado mine July 4. In a telephone interview Carol Amy, the union local's recording secretary, reported that the 74-14 vote put in place a five-year contract with a raise in wages of $1.85 over that period. The strikers were able to cut down mandatory overtime hours to 250 per year and stave off all cut-backs on health care.
