In 1949, one of Australia’s largest industrial actions took place when coal miners staged a well-planned strike. Beginning in June and lasting nearly seven weeks, the strike involved more than 23,000 workers protesting poor wages and dangerous working conditions in the coal mines. Coal was a critical energy resource post-World War II, and the strike brought industries and households across the nation to a standstill, causing significant economic and social disruption.
Join Holly & Matthew as they unearth the tensions, key players, and ramifications of the 1949 Coal Miners’ Strike, exploring its profound legacy on Australian industrial relations.
