The 1922 UMW Miner strike or The Big Coal Strike[1] was a nationwide general strike of miners in the US and Canada[a] after the United Mine Worker's (UMW) trade union contract expired on March 31, 1922. The strike decision was ordered March 22, to start effective April 1. Around 610,000 mine workers struck.[2][3][4] About 100,000 of the striking miners were non-union or not associated with the UMW.
