Description
Summary:1977 "Leaflet - Grunwick Strike Committee, Mass Picket, 17 October (page 2)" [T0422b.jpg], 1977, Grunwick Strike Committee In August 1976, workers at the Grunwick Film Processing factories in Willesden, North West London took strike action against pay and conditions in the plant. The strikers, over 60% of whom were women joined the Association of Professional, Executive, Clerical and Computer Staffs- APEX and were immediately sacked by the company. Several mass pickets were organised and local postal workers refused to handle the company's mail, but the National Association for Freedom organised a private mail delivery and strike breakers were bussed through the picket line. The Court of Appeal and the House of Lords overruled recommendations for union recognition from ACAS (the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service) and the Scarman Court of Inquiry and the strike came to an end in July 1978. This leaflet was issued by the Strike Committee to organise a mass picket of the factory on 17 October 1977 which attracted 5000 supporters.
