A ratification vote is scheduled for Friday at each local. The results of the vote will be announced as soon as it is certified by the UMWA’s Auditor/Tellers. UMWA International President Cecil Roberts said the strike will end if the union ratifies the agreement, but will resume, along with negotiations, if it is rejected.
