One aspect rarely mentioned was unity being shattered prior to the miners' strike.
Power workers and steelworkers had miners supporting their actions and withholding coal supplies. I do recall the bad feelings when both the latter refused in turn to support the miners' actions. Also the press and print unions losing jobs to 'electricians' created a much broader domain across which battle lines were drawn.
