After being dismissed from the railroads in 1863 for his union activism, Etienne Lantier takes a job at the Voreux coal mine, where conditions are harsh, wages meager and safety inadequate. He attempts to unionize the miners, but mine manager Hennebeau refuses to negotiate, prompting a general strike that is ultimately broken by the arrival of troops.
