EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by the Daily Record, we witness Trade Unionist Jimmy Reid standing tall amidst the Marathon oil rig yard in Clydebank. The year is 1976, and a sense of urgency hangs heavy in the air as news of impending closure reaches the ears of 2000 workers. Six months remain to secure new orders that could potentially save their livelihoods. Reid's presence exudes determination and strength as he confronts this grave situation head-on. His unwavering commitment to fighting for workers' rights shines through his resolute gaze. A symbol of hope and solidarity, Reid stands as a beacon for those facing an uncertain future. The backdrop of the oil rig yard serves as a stark reminder of both industry's power and vulnerability. Amidst towering structures, built with sweat and dedication, lies a community on edge, grappling with an uncertain fate. This photograph encapsulates not only a specific moment in time but also represents the struggles faced by countless working-class individuals during this tumultuous era. It serves as a testament to the resilience and unity found within trade unions—a force capable of challenging even corporate giants like Marathon. As we look upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who fought tirelessly for justice in times of adversity—individuals like Jimmy Reid who stood up against injustice while embodying unwavering courage in defense of their fellow workers' livelihoods
