The Yorkshire Miners' Association was a British trade union. The union was founded in 1881 with the merger of the South Yorkshire Miners' Association, and the West Yorkshire Miners' Association, agreed only because both organisations were weakened by unsuccessful disputes. In order to save money, it moved away from its predecessors' focus on paying benefits to members who were unable to work, and instead aimed to improve working conditions.〔Carolyn Baylies, ''The History of the Yorkshire Miners, 1881-1918'', pp.61-62〕 This proved immediately successful, as the union obtained a 10% rise in wages in 1882, and membership grew to over 20,000.〔Carolyn Louise Baylies, ''The History of the Yorkshire Miners, 1881-1918'', pp.74-75〕 ==General Secretaries== :1881: Benjamin Pickard :1904: William Parrott :1906: John Wadsworth :1923: Samuel Roebuck :1924: Joseph Jones :1939: Ernest Jones :1954: Fred Collindridge :1964: Sid Schofield :1973: Owen Briscoe :1986: Sammy Thompson :19??: Kenneth Homer :1994: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yorkshire Miners' Association」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
