The first national coal strikes took place during the nineteenth century. In 1893 many miners went on strike because the price of coal had dropped so, in order for the colliery owners to make more profit, they reduced the miners' wages.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a public meeting held in 1893 to show support for mining families during a time of great struggle. The first national coal strikes of the nineteenth century had sparked unrest among miners, who were facing reduced wages as colliery owners sought to increase their profits. In response, many miners went on strike and were subsequently locked out of work until they accepted the pay cuts. The image showcases the unity and determination of these workers as they gathered together to fight for fair treatment and better working conditions. The faces in the crowd reflect a mix of emotions - from anger and defiance to hope and solidarity. During this tumultuous period, industrial action was not just about individual grievances but about standing up against injustice as a collective force. The miners' protest was not only about securing their own livelihoods but also about setting an example for future generations. As we look back at this historic moment through this photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us in the fight for labor rights. Their courage continues to inspire us today as we strive for equality and justice in our own time.
