MINING WORKER SHORTAGE AT ALL LEVELS
May 15, 2008
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.
