The United Mine Workers of America appealed a recent bankruptcy court ruling that allows Patriot Coal Corp. to reject its collective bargaining agree- ments. The union has been battling the company in bankruptcy court for the past year. The May ruling by U.S. Bankruptcy Court clears the way for the coal company to cut wages and benefits for its current workers and retired miners. In the wake of the judge’s ruling, UMWA President Cecil E.

  • Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model
    CHAPTER 9 Joint Union–Management Workforce Development Model DANIEL MARSCHALL Ellen Scully-Russ The George Washington University In their early synthesis of the features shared by joint training programs, Ferman, Hoyman and Cutcher-Gershenfeld (1990) argued that such programs, as they emerged from the industrial restructuring of the 1980s, represented a distinctive innovation in worker training and career development with the potential to become “a stable and significant domain” in labor–management relations. The authors described joint training programs as an emerging set of institutional arrangements that included large-scale, negotiated, and jointly administered trust funds providing technical training, personal development, and access to education for union members. Though there were many examples of joint union–manage- ment training activity prior to the appearance of the industrial joint training program model, earlier programs were narrowly focused on sin- gle-issue training or time-bounded training efforts. In contrast, the new model spanned many areas of training activity, covered divergent popu- lations of workers and managers, and incorporated service delivery strategies guided by a philosophy of worker involvement and jointly determined decision making. Among other research implications, the authors identified the classification of joint training activities as a chal- lenge for understanding the structural tendencies within these young organizations. Notably, the authors speculated that the emergence of these innovative joint
