The miners' strike of 1984-85 was a major industrial action to shut down the British coal industry in an attempt to prevent colliery closures. It was led by Arthur Scargill of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) against the National Coal Board, a government agency. Opposition to the strike was led by the British government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who called Scargill "the enemy within." The NUM was divided over the action and many mineworkers, especially in the English Midlands, worked through the dispute. Few major unions supported the NUM, primarily because of the absence of a vote at national level.
