The 1996 Ukrainian miner protests was a series of miner strikes throughout eastern Ukraine, mainly Donbas, in 1996 led by 800,000 men, who demonstrated against mining conditions and refused to load coal. Coal miners were the main majority, however other groups of miners and workers joined the movement in February 1996. One-day strikes were organized, however, sporadic protests occurred throughout the east of the country while venting anger at budgetary chaos. [1] [2]
