Remember when interviewees were respectful and listened to one another, even when they hated each other's guts?

My mother worked for the Coal Board in the 1970s, and she was telling me once how she resented being *made* to go on strike. I asked her (I was just a naïve kid) why she didn't go to work if she wanted to. She laughed and said "Because there were men with iron bars and pick-axe handles who'd stop you!" Watching this film - it's amazing how open and unashamed the Unions were that the entire picketing strategy was about intimidation.

@barnbersonol 2 жыл бұрын

The difference between the 1970s and 80s was that home produced coal no longer had a monopoly in the energy market so this strike was doomed from the start.

Agreed, these guys are the real reason why Britain lost its industry. They shut things down and it never really recovered. Similar to whats happening now.

Trade unions are no more responsible for the state of British industry than the England manager is responsible for the England football's poor international record...yes, they do things that exacerbate problems but the underlying issues are poor investment, poor management at the highest and lowest levels..etc etc...poor organisation...

Excellent. We need to return to a more assertive TU movement. From the days when people were respected at work, there were no homeless people at every city and sizeable town street corner and no need for food banks.
