Of course they want the record put straight, it's not all about a payout. Give over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their illegal, unballoted and unsupported strike, heavily encouraged by an increasingly egotistical militant union leader, turned to nothing more than an ugly, oppressive and violent mess, resulting in decades long of bitterness and hurt......and all for what? They just ended up going back to work with no difference. Their dinosaur and uncompetitive industry continued to die on it's behind and those changes that they riled against happened anyway. Well done them. Why was it “illegal” ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alextopman Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The strike was declared illegal in England five months after it started, it was declared legal in the Scottish courts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
