Margaret Thatcher won the miners strike, Arthur Scargills attempt to bring down the government was a total disaster for the innocent miners he foolishly led in to the abyss .
That depends which miners strike in history.
Albert Hitler was the leader of the 1984 miners strike
Margaret Thatcher had planned to close down several mines and decrease pay, leaving several miners out of a job in 1984, so they went on strike. Usually for better working conditions or to demand higher pay.
Largely as a result of Mrs Thatchers dispute with the Miners union. An extended strike left a lot of collieries flooded and unusable, also cheap imports of coal from eastern European countries made British collieries economically nonviable.
It was'nt unusual to find plenty of mines around Durham - there were no mines located in London as there was no space. Durham mines were particularly affected when the miners strike broke out whilst under Maggie Thatchers control. People had no money whatsoever and if the miners agreed to work they would have trouble getting there as other miners on strike would stand at the picket line and shout scum and throw eggs. But many didnt have a choice and had to suffer the trauma of fellow friends shouting unpleasent names at you.
no.

the general strike happened because lots of miners were locked out and campaigned
Miners' strike in Britain in WW2There was a miners' strike at the Betteshanger Colliery in Kent in 1941 or 1942. Even if the other collieries in East Kent were also involved this was very different from a nationwide strike. There must have been other miners strikes. In a correspondence between my uncle and my father, my uncle talks about how things had got better in his RAF camp following the end of the miners strike. My uncle was stationed in Lincolnshire, the date must have been late 43 or early 44

They are many reason's for the strike but one of them is that the miners wanted to work overtime but Margret Thatcher would not pay them and she put a ban on overtime, so the NCB (National Coal Board) offered the miners a 5.2% increase in wages but the miners refused.
