NUM Yorkshire Area

WELCOME TO THE YORKSHIRE AREA SECTION OF THE NUM WEBSITE

THIS SECTION WILL BE DEDICATED TO THOSE ISSUES THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO, AND AFFECT MINERS, FORMER MINERS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN YORKSHIRE.

The site will develop with time covering among other things, news, events and history.

This Yorkshire area section will compliment The National Union Website and although it may occasionally duplicate issues it will predominantly address matters of concern to members in Yorkshire.

The continuing struggle for the mining industry is at the heart of everything we do. The livelihoods of our members and their families depend on it and we shall always be at the forefront of the campaign to maintain and expand our great industry.

With the development of clean coal technologies British deep-mined coal can play a major role in the nation's energy security.

COAL NEED NOT BE BLACK
IT CAN BE GREEN.

We hope that you'll find the Yorkshire Area section interesting, useful and informative.
