South Wales Miners' Federation

The South Wales Miners' Federation was a trade union representing coal miners in South Wales, active from the early 20th century. It aimed to protect workers' rights, improve working conditions, and secure better pay through collective bargaining. As a powerful organization, it also played a significant role in advocating for social and political reforms related to labor rights. The federation helped unify miners across various coal towns, strengthening their negotiating power during a period of industrial growth and economic challenges in the region.
