EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1972, we witness a momentous gathering around the conference table at the Kirby hotel. The room is filled with individuals who are determined to make a difference in their industry and fight for their rights. From left to right, we see John Richards of Thorn Electric, Mike Brayshaw as the factory manager, John Sibley representing Thorn Electrics, and the esteemed Harold Wilson. Also present are Jack Springgs, Works Convenor, along with Dick Jenkins and his brother Jimmy - both senior shop stewards. This powerful assembly has come together with a common goal: to apply pressure on the firm and put an end to impending redundancies that threaten their livelihoods. Their united front showcases not only their unwavering determination but also highlights the significance of trade unions in protecting workers' rights during this era. The atmosphere in the room is palpable; you can almost feel the intensity emanating from each individual as they strategize and discuss ways to bring about change. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how politics intersects with business and industry while emphasizing the crucial role played by politicians like Harold Wilson in advocating for working-class communities. Preserved through time by Mirrorpix's Memory Lane Prints collection, this image encapsulates an important chapter in history when ordinary people fought against adversity for a better future – one where job security was valued above all else.
