- Description
- 1986 was a tumultuous year as mineworkers waged gallant battles on many fronts. It was a year when mineworkers were continuously compelled to take militant action to advance not only their cause as mineworkers but to advance the liberation struggle. The State of Emergency brought about a level of dedication and commitment amongst mineworkers that had never been experienced before as several structures of the union had to function without their leaders for some time. The intransigence of bosses in wage negotiations propelled mineworkers to unprecedented levels of militancy and compelled many employers to capitulate in the end. 1986 saw mineworkers participating in many more strikes than other workers and their participation in nationwide stayaways was clear evidence that "THE MINERS HAVE ARRIVED."
