MINING WORKER SHORTAGE AT ALL LEVELS

May 15, 2008

Analysis by:Richard Rouse, President,

U.S. energy industry is hampered by labor shortage | www.iht.com

  During  the  early  1970's  the  coal  industry  started  to  expand  and  found  that  not  only  was  there  a  shortage  of  engineers  and  technical  people  but  there  were  no  available  machine  operators,  maintenance  people  or  labors.  The  entire  work  force was  starting  to  reach  retirement  age  and  the  industry  had  very  little  growth  during  the  prior  twenty  five  years.  I  spent  several  years  hiring  many  totally  inexperienced  people  and teach  them  to  become  coal  miners.  We  held  many  training  courses  to  train  our  maintenance  people  both  in  the  class  room  and  with  hands  on  work  in  the  mines  working  on  equipment  with  supervisors  explaining  the  "  how  to  "  part  of  the  work  they  were  learning  to  do.  After  going  through  a  turn  over  rate  of  twenty  to  thirty  percent  for  a  four  year  period  we  finally  had  a  fairly  competent  work  force.
