British coal exports were more costly, this again led to mine owners wanting wage cuts and longer working hours, however these were rejected, this lead to multiple threats of a lockout, were the miners wouldn’t get paid al all as the were not allowed to work. The government then decided to pay the miners and mine owner’s subsidies to stop the working disputes for 9 months. After the Samuel commission was done, both miners and mine owners disagreed with the parts of it and when the government subsidies ended, the mine owners and the unions tried to negotiate a deal, the terms of the deal were later rejected by the miners. As the terms of the deal were rejected, May 1926 miners were then locked out of the mine by the mine owners, but a lot of the trade unions supported the miners, aswell those of the triple alliance. The lockout was bad for the miners because they now didn’t get any
It recognised that the industry needed to be reorganised but rejected the suggestion of nationalization. The report also recommended that the Government subsidy should be withdrawn and the miners' wages should be reduced. The leaders of the miners and the TUC refused to accept the report and the threatened a nationwide General Strike which inevitably took place in May 1926. Workers were adamant they weren’t going to work for these wages and as a result they protested which gained heavy media coverage, there famous slogan which showed they weren't going to put up with these unreasonable wage amounts was “Not a penny off the pay, not who persisted to protest without jobs. These are most important reasons h resulted in the TUC calling a general strike in 1926.

Mining was an important factor in the development of the West during the 1800s. When people got wind of a discovery of gold or silver, they would flock to the area with hopes of striking it rich due to the high value of these minerals. These prospectors would use pan and placer mining to sift the minerals out from streams or the shallow surface of the land. After these shallow resources of the minerals were depleted, commercial mining outfits would come in and extract the gold and silver from deep underground. “The thousands of people who flocked to the mining towns in search of quick wealth and who failed to find it often remained as wage laborers in corporate mines after the boom period” (Brinkley, 2007).
One of them being that big businesses dominated the American economy, due to the chance of vertical integration. Andrew Carnegie for example dominated the US steel industry and owned everything from the steel mines to the factories producing them. This is called vertical integration. By this the iron and steel production in the US increased from 0 to 35,000 in measures of 1000 tons between 1875 to 1915. Due to businesses like these integrating vertically big businesses were made easier to grow.

Emperor Wu was one of the longest reigning emperors in Chinese history, ruling from 141- 87 B.C.E., partly due to his ingenious ideas and austere policies that he implemented during his time as ruler. Emperor Wu quickly discovered that the cost of running a large empire and army was exorbitant and came up with policies to help fund them. Responding to popular demands for lower taxes, Wu lowered duties for the people and in its place he erected dozens of iron foundries and salt mines that he monopolized. (Comegna, 2016). As a result, prices for these commodities escalated and led to populace unrest and calls for the policies to be abolished.
Question 1) • Fortis has been facing strong competition: Since 2002, Fortis has been losing nearly 2% per year of the steel strapping market (in 2002 50% and 2008 40%). • Furthermore Fortis is confronted with significant erosion of prices: Other competitors initiated price war and Fortis refused to continuously cut its price. This also led to the fact that Fortis loosed market share to its competitors. • These effects are coupled with the overall declining health of the industrial economy and the fact that Fortis as well as its competitors are closely tied to this. (Overall decline of market / demand) and the increasing price sensitive of customers.
CISA had offered some reports and strategies to against the two giants’ requirements. They holds that China is capable of a two-month boycott on the big three miners (by the increase of domestic mining, by the reserves and cutting the number of iron ore importers). However, with a strong demand, China continues to push on with negotiations with the three ore miners. The China steelmakers claimed that the increase will be even more detrimental to small and medium-sized steel mills with smaller financial resource pools. If they accept this condition, they have to increase the prices
-The project has been given a deadline of ten weeks, with Rankin and his 5-member team in charge of technical implementation. -Bob Finley had a confrontation with Lynn Johnston, resulting in the two avoiding each other during the middle of the project. -Midway through the project, Team member Sally Phillips left the company for better prospects. -Rankin manages his employees simply by telling them his expectations, and only tries justifies the long hours and lack of sleep by telling them that he expects no more of them than he does of himself. Assumptions • Mike Frazer wants the system implemented in 10 weeks because he views it as the answer to the company’s lackluster follow up sales.
