The 1984 miners' strike in the UK ended largely due to the government's refusal to negotiate with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the depletion of resources among striking miners. After a prolonged battle, the strike lost momentum as public support waned and the miners faced financial hardships. Additionally, the government's strategic use of police force and stockpiling of coal helped to undermine the strike's effectiveness. Ultimately, the NUM called off the strike in March 1985, marking a significant defeat for the union.
the general strike happened because lots of miners were locked out and campaigned
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
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.
