miners' strikes

Miners' strikes are protests by coal miners advocating for better wages, working conditions, or job security. When negotiations with management fail, miners may refuse to work to pressure employers into meeting their demands. These strikes can significantly impact coal supply, affecting energy and industry. They often reflect broader economic or political issues and can lead to government intervention, negotiations, or labor reforms. Strikes are a way for workers to collectively voice their concerns and seek improved conditions, highlighting the importance of labor rights and workplace negotiations.
