In what is the most comprehensive review of the perspectives and preoccupations of works on the miners' strike Gibbon (1988) distinguishes between pit and mineworkers' politics . The distinction is used to contrast the 'combative tradition of militancy, workgroup self-regulation, local bargaining and organisation and an ideological refusal of managerial legitimacy' of the former with the 'religion of compromise' of the latter (p . 189) . While acknowledging the 'uneven, episodic and sometimes divisive forms' which pit politics took the concept assumes central place in organising the experiences of miners and according to Gibbon stood in 'uneasy and oppositional unity' with mineworkers politics located mainly at area level and above . The proposal of the necessity for two levels of analysis allows Gibbon a much superior framework for understanding the dynamic of the strike
