The strike has been organized by the Morridane Union of Mineworkers in response to recent government decision to convert some mines over for penal labour and also disputes over wages and a proposal to cut mine safety budget.
The Morridane Coal Board has declined comments, though it is understood that they are looking to reopen the effected mines soon as possible.
