Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1986, examines the miners’ strike of 1984-5 – an event that formed the decisive break with a forty-year-old British tradition of political and industrial compromise. The stakes for the main parties were so high that the price each was willing to pay, the loss each was willing to sustain, exceeded anything seen in an industrial dispute in half a century. This book examines and assesses the strike’s full implications, and puts it into its historical and political context.

Book Synopsis The Miners` Strike 1984-85 by : Yate & District Labour History Group
Download or read book The Miners` Strike 1984-85 written by Yate & District Labour History Group and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yate & District Labour History Group`s approach to the year-long strike of the National Union of Mineworkers has three points of articulation. The first is Yate & District Heritage Centre`s history of mining in the Yate area. The second is the "Readers` Letters" pages of the Dursley Gazette, where payment for provision of policing the strike was the chief topic. The third topic is the activities of the Conservative Party`s elite`s discussion of future tactics following the Heath government`s defeat by the miners in 1974. The dialectical systems theory used provides the framework holding the research together. The author was an apprenticed and operative plumber, later becoming a plumbing lecturer at Oxford College of Art, Technology and Commerce, before making the shift to sociology in the late 1960s. He then became a lecturer in sociology at Filton College, Bristol. He has been a Labour Party member since the 1970s.

Book excerpt: Margaret Thatcher branded the leaders of the 1984-85 miners strike “the enemy within.” With the publication of this book, the full irony of that accusation became clear. Seumas Milne revealed for the first time the astonishing lengths to which the government and its intelligence machine were prepared to go to destroy the power of Britain’s miners’ union. There was an enemy within. It was the secret services of the British state, operating inside the NUM itself. Milne revealed for the first time the astonishing lengths to which the government and its intelligence machine were prepared to go to destroy the power of Britain’s miners’ union. Using phoney bank deposits, staged cash drops, forged documents, agents provocateurs and unrelenting surveillance, M15 and police Special Branch set out to discredit Scargill and other miners’ leaders. Planted tales of corruption were seized on by the media and both Tory and Labour politicians in what became an unprecedentedly savage smear campaign.

Book Synopsis Marching to the Fault Line by : David Hencke
Download or read book Marching to the Fault Line written by David Hencke and published by Constable. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A controversial new investigation in the 1984 Miners strike and how it changed Modern Britain. The Miners' strike was a dividing line in Modern British history. Before 1984, Britain was an industrial nation, reborn from the ashes of the Second World War by Clement Atlee's vision of a welfare state. Most of the great industries were nationalised and the trade unions was one of the major forces in the land. After the strike, which ended with humiliating defeat in March 1985, Thatcher's Britain was born. In March 1984, the leader of the Miners' Union, Arthur Scargill, led his members out of the pits without a ballot to protest at planned pit closures; they would spend the next 13 months facing the utmost deprivations as they fought to keep their jobs. On picket lines the miners faced harassment and the police, which culminated in the violent Battle of Orgreave. Meanwhile Thatcher's government feared that Britain was on the verge of a civil war. It was a struggle of attrition that neither side could dare lose. Twenty five years after the strike, the debate is still controversial. Marching to the Faultline tells the full story of the strike from confidential cabinet meetings at Downing Street to backroom negotiations, and life on the picket line. The book draws on previously unseen sources from interviews with the major figures, private archives and documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act to set the record straight.
Book Synopsis The 1984/85 Miners Strike in Nottinghamshire by : Jonathan Symcox
Download or read book The 1984/85 Miners Strike in Nottinghamshire written by Jonathan Symcox and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Lowe, chairman of Clipstone Colliery's strike committee, was at the forefront of the fight for jobs of the twelve months' 1984/85 miners' strike at a time when most Nottinghamshire miners preferred to work. The now well known 'dirty war' fought by the Thatcher Government against the National Union of Mineworkers transformed him from a passive family man into a political animal. Lowe was witness to many disturbing events, recording his experiences and thoughts in a diary so that they would never be forgotten: read about a pensioner friend beaten at a police roadblock, a bleak but unifying Christmas, the slow trickle back to work; and finally the the dreaded day the strike ended - and the first harrowing weeks back at the coal face among people he despised. With the scars of the dispute still fresh, John Lowe reflected upon both local and national events to produce pieces of writing from the heart, illustrated via a huge collection of documentation and memorabilia. Although a tale of sorrow it is also a testament to the unquenchable spirit of men and women fighting for a just cause during the most significant industrial dispute in modern history.

Book Synopsis Making Cultures of Solidarity by : Diarmaid Kelliher
Download or read book Making Cultures of Solidarity written by Diarmaid Kelliher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines radical history, critical geography, and political theory in an innovative history of the solidarity campaign in London during the 1984-5 miners’ strike. Thousands of people collected food and money, joined picket lines and demonstrations, organised meetings, travelled to mining areas, and hosted coalfield activists in their homes during the strike. The support campaign encompassed longstanding elements of the British labour movement as well as autonomously organised Black, lesbian and gay, and feminist support groups. This book shows how the solidarity of 1984-5 was rooted in the development of mutual relationships of support between the coalfields and the capital since the late 1960s. It argues that a culture of solidarity was developed through industrial and political struggles that brought together diverse activists from mining communities and London. The book also takes the story forward, exploring the aftermath of the miners’ strike and the complex legacies of the support movement up to the present day. This rich history provides a compelling example of how solidarity can cross geographical and social boundaries. This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists with an interest in left-wing politics and history.
