Brighton Socialist Party: The 1984-5 miners' strike
Wednesday 18th January 2012
7-30pm
Phoenix Community Centre, 2 Phoenix Place, Brighton BN2 9ND, close to St Peters' church
'CIVIL WAR WITHOUT GUNS':
The last time the Tory Party took on the trade unions resulted in a mass strike by the National Union of Mineworkers to prevent pit closures.
This magnificent strike contains many lessons for workers' struggles today, including the disastrous role which can be played by right wing trade union leaders wedded to the profit system, how to build unity within the working class and the important role that women play in building militant working class struggle.
