My husband, a diehard union man, wouldn't take redundancy, he moved from one pit to another until there was nowhere else to go. Then he got a job within six weeks. The redundancy money was spent on paying off the last of our mortgage, just to make sure we always had a roof over our heads. He was made redundant again after the firm went into liquidation.
He then was fortunate enough to gain employment in a local firm, which saw him through until industrial related injuries took their toll.
Where one earth this illusion of miners being made into rich men came from is beyond me.
