{"product_id":"9781291982084","title":"The Miners` Strike 1984-85","description":"The Yate \u0026amp; District Labour History Group`s approach to the year-long strike of the National Union of Mineworkers has three points of articulation. The first is Yate \u0026amp; District Heritage Centre`s history of mining in the Yate area. The second is the \"Readers` Letters\" pages of the Dursley Gazette, where payment for provision of policing the strike was the chief topic. The third topic is the activities of the Conservative Party`s elite`s discussion of future tactics following the Heath government`s defeat by the miners in 1974. The dialectical systems theory used provides the framework holding the research together.The author was an apprenticed and operative plumber, later becoming a plumbing lecturer at Oxford College of Art, Technology and Commerce, before making the shift to sociology in the late 1960s. He then became a lecturer in sociology at Filton College, Bristol. He has been a Labour Party member since the 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eYate \u0026amp; District Labour History Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eLulu.Com\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eFeb 06, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e80 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1291982086\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781291982084\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lulu.Com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48511892980017,"sku":"9781291982084","price":13.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781291982084.jpg?v=1710603747","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781291982084","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
