The coal miners' strike of 1919, led by the United Mine Workers under John L. Lewis, resulted in a significant wage increase for miners and heightened awareness of labor rights. The strike sought to address poor working conditions and low pay but also faced strong opposition from the government and coal operators. Ultimately, while the strike achieved some concessions, it also led to increased public scrutiny of union activities and a backlash against organized labor in subsequent years. The strike exemplified the growing tensions between labor and capital in post-World War I America.
