- Kent_Miners'_Association abstract "The Kent Miners' Association was a trade union in the United Kingdom.Coal was discovered in Kent in the late nineteenth century, but extraction did not begin until 1912. The Kent Miners Association was established in 1915, and immediately affiliated to the Miners' Federation of Great Britain. Working conditions in the mines were poor, and mine owners struggled to attract workers, giving a strong bargaining position the union.In 1941, a dispute emerged over additional payments for working a particularly difficult seam. Official arbitration backed the mineowners, prompting more than 4,000 coal miners to strike, despite a wartime ban on industrial action. The government responded by arresting 1,000 of the miners and imprisoning three union officials with hard labour, but only nine workers paid their fines, and the government were forced to negotiate with the gaoled union leaders; they were released after eleven days, and the fines were waived.The union became the Kent Area of the National Union of Mineworkers in 1945, by which time, membership had reached 5,100. In 1961, 160 workers at Betteshanger were served with redundancy notices. A stay-down strike was launched, which succeeded in persuading the National Coal Board to open a new seam, allowing the workforce to remain at the same level.Despite this, one pit closed in 1969, and two more were listed for closure in 1981. This ensured that the area was strongly supportive of the UK miners' strike of 1984-1985, with Malcolm Pitt, the Area President, being jailed for allegedly breaching bail conditions, and any suspected miners regularly turned back at the Dartford Tunnel. The last coal mine closed in 1989.".
