With Luthori now more than a month into the miners' strike, coal stockpiles continue to diminish and imports have proven insufficient; the miners, by a large margin the best-paid manual workers in the country, are striking for a 10% pay rise. Disaster was averted when the power workers' unions decided to cross picket lines established by the striking miners in a bid to shut power stations down, reportedly much to the fury of miners' union president Chelwin Brailsford. This comes after railway workers voted last week not to transport stockpiled fuel, which saw the government call out the army to handle deliveries in response. It has been estimated that more than two million workers have been laid off as a result of the strikes. The prime minister again called for representatives of the Luthorian Federation of Miners' Associations and Mining Industry Association to meet for government-mediated negotiations; Mr Brailsford said that nothing less than the demanded 10% pay rise could possibly be accepted. |

| Message | Henry Markington, twice-failed challenger to the Secretariat of the DP, gave his backing to the energy-saving measures and asked ordinary Luthorians to ‘do their duty for the nation’. He also reiterated his support for Eghard Adderley’s management of the crisis and said that ‘as two parties representative of the people, the Democratic Society and Luthorian Socialist Party have a responsibility to work together to find a resolution’. However, the message from the current Secretary was less than happy. Claims of ‘these restrictions are a prime example of the Socialists’ willingness to behave in an authoritarian way’ and ‘a lockdown on business has arrived’ resonate through the air, making the atmosphere in the party very uncomfortable just as the July conference in the party begins. |
