I hope that if Thames has more footage of discussions of trade unions that they'll keep uploading them. Thanks Thames!

We're going through a pay dispute at the moment at work. I am researching these documentaries. Fascinating stuff. We certainly don't live in the days we used to live. No one strikes anymore. However, I believe there are ways to get up the backs of management without having to walking out.

I love these old videos of old Trade Union related programmes. I hope there are more coming up! Thank you Thames for all of your uploads!
