ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION FOR ECONOMIC TEMPORARY REINSTATEMENT

 

Before:            Judge Sullivan

 

            On December 12, 2023, I granted the Secretary of Labor’s unopposed Application for Temporary Reinstatement of Complainant Samuel Coleman. Pursuant to section 105(c)(2) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. § 801, et seq., and 29 C.F.R. § 2700.45, I ordered Complainant’s immediate temporary reinstatement to positions at the No. 7 Mine of Warrior Met Coal Mining, LLC.

 

            On December 21, 2023, the parties jointly moved for an order approving their agreement to economically temporarily reinstate the Complainant in lieu of the actual temporary reinstatement ordered on December 12. Their motion details the terms of the economic reinstatement agreement reached by the parties, retroactive to the date of my original order.

 

            Because nothing in the motion’s description of the terms of the agreement appears to reduce Complainant’s rights under section 105(c)(2), the motion is granted, and my December 12 order is converted to an order of temporary economic reinstatement retroactive to that date. All other provisions of that order remain in effect.
