The miner strike, specifically the UK miners' strike of 1984-1985, lasted for nearly a year, from March 1984 until March 1985. It was a major industrial action involving thousands of miners protesting against pit closures and government policies. The strike was marked by significant confrontations and had lasting impacts on the coal industry and labor relations in the UK.
They are many reason's for the strike but one of them is that the miners wanted to work overtime but Margret Thatcher would not pay them and she put a ban on overtime, so the NCB (National Coal Board) offered the miners a 5.2% increase in wages but the miners refused.
