The Wilkinson Glass factory in the midlands believe they are a caring employer – even providing a free bag of coal as a Christmas bonus – and have always had a good relationship with the local trade union. But their workers see things differently when faced by a management offensive and form a Rank and File Strike Committee. The committee expect harassment from management but surely their union leaders in London will stand by them. Won’t they?
Jim Allen’s script was inspired by the Pilkington Glass strike in St. Helens and closely follows the events of a strike that had taken place there in 1970. It was written at a time when the Labour governmant was proposing legislation to make unofficial strikes illegal and when trade union leaders were seen to be too close to the government.
Directed by Ken Loach

My favourite director since I was six and I saw "Cathy Come Home".
For all the evil of the Tories since the 1950s, I never thought I'd see
one deliberately let 30,000 Britons die at home for their fascist philosophy.
Hope dear Ken Loach gets to deal with Coronavirus : when Britain declared war on itself.
To those who thought things were bad in the days when the unions had some clout, and could – and did make a difference to the conditions of the working man. Compare those days with today, where workers have little or no representation. It saddens me to see how the working classes blame each other, while the corporate capitalists hoard their profits overseas, and get away with not paying their taxes. The billionaire owned propagandist media have a lot to answer for.
We really do need artists like Loach or Garnet now
days, their work was
spellbinding and made you
think something no one
is doing today. A little
known fact is that most
of the cast are stand up
comics and they are great.

Tory masquerading as labour, sounds like Blair!

Really nice lookn leggs @7:45
The Conservative Parties and the unions are all as bad as one another. You can not trust them.
Only well to do people now days would say "They where great days! romantic ideas about a time gone bye They where not good old days!! ! They where hard and shit!
For those who want the "good old days" back.

Man it was tough but we were together….now we are anonymous.
A bloody tramp couldn't starve on it!😉
I want to know what is our brother doing about no loo roll i n the lavvy. Brothers get your coats. All out. All out for just about any trivial matter. Let's go out. Again!
all unions are infiltrated by the goverment and thats a fact, they always work against the workers and prevent any resolution that the workers can get any decent results in theyre favour,,,rotten to the core. the enemy within comes to mind
These uneducated, ignorant people should be thankful that someone has given them a job. Thank God Maggie put these thugs into the rubbish-bin of history
Awful the way the haves have treated the working class. Oh when there's a war it's a different story. The poorly educated have always been duped into waving the flag for Queen and country then abused when there no longer needed….Man's inhumanity.
Can't beat a fremas un..it'snot uman the week shall inherit the erf.
I lived on a council estate in Castleford during the miners strike. One bloke near us lived on his own in a flat, seperated from his wife and kids. He was skint and desperate during the strike so he went back to work. Got all his windows broke for his trouble.
Notice the different style in the policing of the strikers. Try talking to the police today!
Quite possibly the most corrupt group of wankers that ever represented industrial workers in Great Britain has to have been the TUC. They were and still are nothing more than SCUM….
5.10 Harold cross from brookside in meeting 7.06 George from boys from the black stuff on picket line. God I feel old. Any oldies remember these lads
Pilkington more like in St Helen,s otherwise why Merseyside Dialects ( scouser liverpool) in Birmingham. I know that pilkington, workforce have been on Strike.

Since when was St Helens in the midlands?
English actor's studio? Real acting – real issues??? Send in Angelina Holie anging from a jungle wine or Jane Fonda in leotards! That's how real movies are made! Why don't they demolish all of it and build a Disneyland over there???
A free bag of coal at Chrimbo!? Ah, yes, them were the days. And where we're now heading back to, with Tories having started the process, and Corbyn (if he wins) finishing the process. And if you're REALLY lucky, you can still afford the match to light the coal!!!!!!!!!!
There was no more demand for coal!!! Get over it!! The world owes you nothing!!
3:46 it's Vic Reeves sat in on a union meeting
Great film reminded me of the miners fight against Tories.
having an outdoor loo never did me any harm
Workers always have a choice. If you don't like the terms and conditions, why not start your own company?
An Academic can never be in the 'Wrong'….Universities or so called 'Higher Education' has become an American Finance shield to keep 'Praising' so called 'youth' when the 'spirit' inside the so called 'Educated' has been 'Kidnapped' by Cash/Life 'needs'…….So called Parent/Youth 'Masses Ignorance that Requires Guidance' i.e Bank Watchdogging…..Rye vita,Sued & 2 Bobs screwed is the new 'Temperance' movement for En-suite 'Greed' Shopping gone 'Green'(Man) Friday FIFA types …later to switch to 'Basketcase Ball' Americano UK, probably?
These guys in this are Actors…..the Real Massive loss overall is the Cosy Coal Heating non Plastic,Million Miles from 'Robot' Backdrops of 'Tomorrows World of Now?
Why a Little Place like here? Role Model of Darth Vader intimidation Union 'Flaggging'?
If only the 'Old Brits' all looked like Sidney Poitier back in those Days……'selling' PR Nice Respect 'Robot Futures' would have become a Hell of a Big Issue for some time to come……Billions still in 'Real' Undeveloped World areas nowadays are 'Readymade' Scabs Presumably in Exit Stage 'Entrance' to Keep Up the 'Neo – Cost Effective' Standards.
At Least the Intellegencia will get the 'Respect' they constantly Keep Advertising with that constant source of 'Union Wannabies' of Tomorrow?

Thanks for the 'Posting' of Video.
When eye wer a lad.
This was when Liverpool last won the league I believe.
Reminds me of my days at Longbridge car plant British Leyland . Shop floor disputes taken over by corrupt regional union officals. Managerment manipulating the workforce into strikes surported by vindictive polilictions.
When I see this and compare it with what is on tv now, then it seems the great unwashed were trusted and respected with a good deal more intelligence than we are today.
Enough money to pay them rent for the houses they own and fry bread in some fat to keep you alive so you can work in their factory.
What a fantastic piece of film.
This remind of the pilks strike in 1970
Ohhhh those poor people,,having to go to work,,😂😂😂🐖🤛
