No regrets from key players in dispute By Kevin Maguire, Guardian
Still the best known trade union leader in Britain, Mr Scargill retired as full-time president of the National Union of Mineworkers in August 2002, aged 65, but retains an honorary title and consultancy.
He was vilified like no other industrial or political figure during the momentous strike - by many in the Labour party as well as the Tories and newspapers - yet he remains irrepressible.
To this day he argues that the union had no alternative and its tactics were correct, and will not accept that the refusal to hold a national ballot was a catastrophic error.
Strikebreaking union accused of profiting from sick miners By Kevin Maguire, Guardian
The leaders of the strike-breaking Union of Democratic Mineworkers, which represents just 1,431 members, were criticised last night after it emerged that they receive pay and benefits of more than £150,000 each.
