First published in 1979, The Miners: A History of the National
Union of Mineworkers 1939-46 describes the events and factors that
led to the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1946. The World
War had a creative as well as a destructive effect on the industry;
it compressed fundamental changes into seven short years. By the
end of the war, the federated trade unions had succeeded in
bringing about the unification of their industry; and the various
county, district and craft associations were themselves also
unified in one single national body. Two rival plans emerged during
1945: a coal-owners' plan, in conjunction with an 'experts'
report', approved by Churchill and his Caretaker Cabinet, and
Labour's 'plan for the coal industry' which came into force in 1946
as the Coal Industry Nationalisation Act. Anew epoch in management
had begun, with a National Coal Board, new industrial relations and
a new National Union of Mineworkers. This book will be of interest
to students of history, sociology, economics and political science.
