Because they are in the same situation as the union member and they are not helping the union member active their goals, anyway a lot of the miner were union members

So because you are not answering the question i will answer for you based on the non answer you just gave.

You have no issues with members of a union attacking non members. So you are an extremist who thinks beating people up is the answer to any strike

I have answered you question, also what would you have done if you were losing you job and you had little chance of getting another job?

I don't want to beat anyone up by the way, I want to radical change via democratic means, but sadly It almost impossible to do

So you are of the impression that Thatcher is soley responsible for closing the mines ?
In fact Alan ,Pits where closing from the 1960's onwards by all governments including labour,who closed about 30 pits between '74 and '79 ,Thatcher was completing a program that had begun 20yrs ago .
