Скачать или смотреть Prof. Laurie Hunter speaks about Miners' Strike in 1972

A news report on the Miners' strike and the death of a young 21years old Colin Rodge in London. He died of gun shot, he committed suicide as per the Stockholm Police report. Colin's father is seen crying and negotiating with the police in London. His family member Dennis Twomey said Colin loved sports and had many friends.

The 1972 Miners' Strike was noticeable as it was the first time since 1926 that British miners had been on strike. It came about because of disagreements between the miners and the Government over pay; throughout Britain's industry there was a widespread hostility to the Tories' offers of pay. In the 1971 NUM Annual Conference, it was decided to ask for a 43% pay rise, at a time when the Tories' were offering around 7-8%. In late 1971, the miners voted to take industrial action if their pay demands were not met.

On the 5th January 1972, the National Executive Committee of the NUM rejected a small pay rise from the National Coal Board, who then 2 days later, withdrew all pay offers from the last 3 months. On the 9th January 1972, miners from all over Britain came out on strike. In South Wales, 135 pits were closed; 50 collieries and 85 private mines.
