| THE STRUGGLE OF BLACK WORKERS; THE ASIAN EXPERIENCE WITH MOSHIN ZULFIQAR | |||
| Date: 1982 Film Number: 7470 | |||
| At a meeting in Manchester, Mohsin Zulfiqar speaks about the importance of knowing history as a way to understand the present and the future. Describes the non-homogeneous Asian community in Greater Manchester, where they have come from on the Indian sub-continent, and why they have come - economic reasons, traditional, partition of India, etc. Racism was the main problem they faced here. Couldn't get jobs so had to create jobs - started own businesses, market stalls. Describes the way people were forced to live. Like Afro-Caribbeans, they couldn't get housing. Mosques in those days were more like a community centre. There were over 12 mosques in the early days, representing different groupings. Often hundreds of people associated with same village, as they would encourage one another to settle. Connection with mother country would remain strong and all political parties have branches in Manchester. Discussion opened to floor after 25 minutes. Talk about the relationship between Asians and Afro-Caribbeans. Why Asians are most subject to racial attacks. Mechanisms of divide and rule, need for unity, and role about Labour Party in these struggles. [Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011] | |||
| THE STRUGGLE OF BLACK WORKERS; BERRY EDWARDS ON GAPS BETWEEN TRADE UNIONS AND THE BLACK COMMUNITY | |||
| Date: 1982 Film Number: 7471 | |||
| At a meeting in Manchester, Berry Edwards talks about how the Trade Unions (TU) have betrayed all working class people, but particularly black workers. Black people have always struggled for a better life but TU were never concerned about the fundamentals of life, concerned only with sharing wealth/profit and not quality of life. TU actively encouraged racism - supported legislation against blacks. Have not encouraged blacks to join. Raises issue of black union. Discussion opened to floor after 30 minutes and further discussion about black union - attempted after Imperial Typewriters dispute but failed. Other ways the unions could redeem themselves - anti-racist work with white workers. Talk about the strength of the black movement in 1960s and how its power of was frustrated by Government action. Discussion about bridges between Trade Union and community. How this is breaking down with increasing mobility of workers. Discussed how none of the black workers at the Depot were mobilised during the Moss Side riots because the means were not there to get them out. Kath Locke talks about successful actions of this kind, e.g. 1974 Housing struggles when Direct Works were involved. Examples given of the strength of black workers in many unions - car industry. Also Trade Unions for unemployed people. [Catalogued as part of 'Revitalising the Regions' a Screen Heritage UK project, 2011] | |||
