Protesting coal miners at the Friedrich Heinrich/Rheinland colliery in the town of Kamp-Lintfort in March 1997. There was a wave of miners' protests in Winter and Spring 1996/97 as the German Federal Government planned to cut subsidies which would have meant a loss of 60,000 jobs in less than ten years. The banner in front says "We want a perspective for our future". Photo: Betriebsrat Bergwerk West. Info Info
