Though miners are the nation's greatest sufferers from occupational ailments - notably "black lung" or pneumoconiosis - they get medical benefits only so long as they remain on the job. They argue, moreover, that the pension fund, fed by a royalty of 400 per ton of coal mined, ties the union too closely to the fortunes of the coal companies...
