Hi guys, here’s the second of the two requests I mentioned in Post One, again cross-posted to the PDF and Old Time forums, though I suspect in this case the latter is more likely to “bear fruit”…
This year will be the 40th anniversary of the 1978 Drivers’ Strike, and I’m looking to put together a feature about what happened, what effect it had for future generations, how it changed drivers’ views on trade unionism, and why it may or may not ever be repeated.
Were you around in the industry in 1978? Did you take part or specifically choose not to take part and why? What was the strike like in reality? I’m trying very hard not to ask leading questions here based on what I already know, but you get the gist…
Again, if you’d be willing to spare me 20 minutes of your time for a quick phone interview please post below and I’ll drop you a PM.
Thankyou!!!
