| 释义 |
The Ayrshire Miners' Union was a coal mining trade union based in Scotland. HistoryThe first Ayrshire Miners' Union was founded in 1880, with Keir Hardie as its organiser. The union supported a strike for higher wages over the winter of 1881/82, but this was unsuccessful, and the union dissolved.[1] A new union was founded in 1886, with its Hardie elected as its first secretary.[2] In 1893, it was reorganised on a federal basis and renamed the Ayrshire Miners' Federal Union.[3] It was a founder of the Scottish Miners' Federation (SMF) in 1894, and by 1897 it claimed 3,000 members out of a total workforce of 10,000 in the county, making it the third-largest component of the federation.[2] In 1944, the SMF became the unitary National Union of Scottish Mineworkers, and the union became its Ayrshire District, with less autonomy than before.
