Resumen del Recurso
The Miners' Strike of 1984-5
Causes:
Coal increasingly costly and difficult to mine
British mines running at a loss
Pit closures
Redundancies
Nationalisation had not altered
Little government investment
Government's case for pit closures:
Unwilling to put more public money into an old fashioned, doomed industry.
Mining had little chance of being able to recover its place in a competitive market.
Not taking necessary hard measures would delay the inevitable.
Better to face the situation now and lessen the consequences by generous redundancy settlements
... than pretend things will get better.
Miners' case against pit closures:
With proper investment programme and government commitment for long term power source mines could work.
Large parts of British coal industry has a profitable future
Social Consequences:
Coal is a way of life for some
Whole communities dependent
South Wales
Yorkshire
Durham
Why were the miners defeated?
Arthur Scargill's abrasive manner alienated some unions
Scargill's refusal to ballot for strikes
made strikes look forced
Few other trade unions offered support
Public opinion was that the workers started it- largely pro govt.
The govt (prev always supported NCB) had stockpiled fuel and supplies
Labour opposition not convincing
Norman Tebbit's Employment Act gave NCB and govt. powerful restraints against NUM.
Coal no longer vital
Coal belonged to a passed age- strike = futile
Consequences of the miners' defeat:
Divided public shocked 65% pro police, 35 pro riot
Social commentators said there was growing lawlessmess
Planned changes faster
redundancy
social disruption
Violent defeat
convinced people the strikes were futile and silly
Gave heart to employers who wanted to introduce modern techniques to other industries
(Since NCB's victory was really the govt's victory, )Thatcher decided to defeat other opponents with purpose and determination.
