Will put a few odds and ends together and post them as a new topic. It will be next time I've a couple of days off possibly this coming Thursday/Friday if domestic duties allow sufficient time.

Just a quick one, in the late 20s the haulage lads in the Sutton in Ashfield area pits went on strike because they were paid less than Erewash Valley haulage lads. It was treated as a big joke by management and colliers but after a couple of days with next to nothing moving underground the lads got parity with the Erewash Valley rate.

regards Phil
