Miners' Federation of Great Britain

The Miners’ Federation of Great Britain was a trade union founded in 1889 that represented coal miners across the UK. It aimed to improve working conditions, wages, and safety standards for its members through collective bargaining and advocacy. Over time, it grew in influence, uniting miners to push for better rights and recognition within the industry. The federation played a significant role in labor movements and industrial relations during its existence, eventually merging into larger union organizations as the coal industry and employment landscape evolved.
