Miners' strike in Britain in WW2There was a miners' strike at the Betteshanger Colliery in Kent in 1941 or 1942. Even if the other collieries in East Kent were also involved this was very different from a nationwide strike.

There must have been other miners strikes. In a correspondence between my uncle and my father, my uncle talks about how things had got better in his RAF camp following the end of the miners strike. My uncle was stationed in Lincolnshire, the date must have been late 43 or early 44

What were the results of the coal minres strike of 1919?

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.
