With other countries happy to strip mine and completely destroy whole swathes of land there is no way this country could have remained competitive in pricing within the mining industry.
No one wants to strike and often there are legitimate reasons to strike but 25 years ago there was behaviour on both sides that when looked back on is shocking and saddening.
