EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo print, we see a group of GEC workers standing outside the company's headquarters in London during a lockout from the Keith Blackman works at Tottenham on 18 March 1970. The image captures a moment of industrial unrest as members of the union campaign for their employment rights.
The men and women in the photo are holding placards with slogans demanding justice and fair treatment from their employer. Their faces show determination and resolve as they protest against being locked out of their workplace.
This snapshot from history serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by workers in the past to secure better working conditions and rights. It is a testament to the power of collective action and solidarity in fighting against injustice.
As we look back on this scene from the 1970s, we are reminded that progress is not always easy or straightforward. It takes courage, perseverance, and unity to stand up for what is right. The GEC workers campaigning outside their headquarters embody these qualities, inspiring us to continue advocating for fairness and equality in our own time.
