Early Use of the Word Strike in London Chronicle 1766
Notes from London Chronicle 1766 describe early uses of strike in September as coal miners in the northern field halted work for higher pay before their annual bond. The term strike is said to be twice called a gtick. Harriet Martineau’s 1834 pamphlet on strikes and wages is cited. A Newcastle coal delivery anecdote mentions profit from resold coal at ninepence a poke.
