In this iconic image, we see Sammy Gilmore, a prominent figure and Convenor of Shop Stewards at Govan Shipbuilders. With his strong presence and determined expression, he epitomizes the power and influence wielded by trade unions during that era. During the 1970s, shipbuilding was a vital industry for Scotland's economy. The United Clyde Shipbuilders (UCS) consortium played a significant role in providing employment opportunities for thousands of workers like Sammy Gilmore.
