Re: Maggy what have we done...
"That's the lie you got from the Daily Mail (or one of the many other lying rags). Strikes were never as common as the rags pretended - most union members never went on strike, during their entire careers. Those that did, did it rarely - and only when employers behaved like total prats."
Unlike you I suspect , I was actually alive in the 70s and yes THEY DID go on strike that often. I have none too happy memories of eating by candle light in the evenings because of power cuts due to coal shortages directly down to striking miners.
