EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the bustling shipyards of Govan in the late 1970s. 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. As convenor of shop stewards, he represented not only his fellow workers but also their collective voice within an industry often plagued by labor disputes. This photograph captures an important moment in time when trade unions were fighting to protect jobs and improve working conditions amidst economic challenges faced by British industries. It serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience demonstrated by individuals like Sammy Gilmore who dedicated themselves to safeguarding workers' rights. The Daily Record's archival collection continues to preserve these historical moments that shaped our industrial heritage. This print is not just a visual representation but also an homage to those who fought tirelessly for fair treatment within their respective trades.
