- Motion text
This Congress notes that it is the anniversary of the 1984-5 miners' strike.
The heroic year long strike was an outstanding example of class resistance to a government led attack on the mining community and the trade union movement as a whole.
This Congress believes that:
Deep mined coal is an essential part of a future non-nuclear energy policy.
It will require substantial investment in clean coal technology to make coal a viable part of an integrated energy policy.
Energy policy should be based on people before profits”.
This Congress supports the case for deep mined coal as part of a future non-nuclear integrated energy policy in line with the clean coal technology recommendations of the National Union of Mineworkers.
