WEST VIRGINIA NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Union, Dominion try to finish new labor deal March 21, 2010 2:03 PM CLARKSBURG, W.Va.
Negotiators say they have less than two weeks to finish a new contract between Dominions Resources and the United Gas Workers union local representing the natural gas utility's West Virginia workers. Local 69 President Charlie Rittenhouse says Dominion's proposed sale of its exploration and production operations is complicating the talks. Virginia-based Dominion announced a deal March 15 to sell the business to Pennsylvania-based coal producer Consol Energy for $3.475 billion. Local 69 workers are expected to remain with Dominion after the sale's scheduled April 30 closing. Rittenhouse says much work on the contract remains, including discussing health premiums and wages. A Dominion spokesman says negotiations also will include the effect of the sale on Local 69 members. Information from: The Exponent Telegram, http://www.cpubco.com |
