About Émile Basly

Émile Basly (born March 29 1854 in Valenciennes, France; died February 11 1928 in Lens, France) is one of the great figures of trade unionism in mining in the mineral field of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, along with Arthur Lamendin. He is primarily known for his participation in the strike of 1884, when he became known as "the untameable miner" and "the tsar of Lens". Basly was the inspiration for the character "Etienne Lantier" in Emile Zola's novel "Germinal".
