During the period between 1948 and today, the world of work in Britain has changed a great deal.

were imported. This meant that a lot of British factories had to close down so many people became

unemployed.

Many coal mines closed because the need for coal in Britain was no longer as great as it had once

The reduced need for coal came at the same time that the workers in the coal mining industry were

disagreeing with their bosses. In 1972 the coal miners went on strike, leading to huge problems

in British working life, including the temporary introduction of a threeday working week so that

electricity could be ‘rationed’.
