EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of intense dispute and protest within the industrial sector in 1985. The image shows members of the British Rail Engineering Limited (BREL) workforce in Springburn, Glasgow, Scotland, campaigning against the closure of the Caledonian Railway Works. Men and women alike are seen holding placards with slogans demanding to save their jobs and prevent redundancies.
The atmosphere is one of unrest as workers fight for their employment and livelihoods amidst looming job cuts. The nickname "Caley" echoes through history as a symbol of resistance against corporate decisions that threaten the livelihoods of hardworking individuals.
This snapshot from the 1980s serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by working-class communities during times of economic uncertainty. It showcases the determination and unity displayed by Scottish workers in standing up for their rights and fighting against unjust closures.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in black and white, we are reminded of the importance of solidarity and collective action in times of crisis. The legacy left behind by these brave men and women continues to inspire future generations to stand up against injustice and fight for a better tomorrow.
