Description |
Footage of the last night of the Thompson contract print works on Withy Grove in Manchester. Workers are seen drinking, cheering defiantly, and distributing pornographic magazines. One man is in fancy dress, and another receives a chorus of 'Happy Birthday'. The final section of the film shows an event held for the workers in a club, where union reps rail against Robert Maxwell (whose actions closed the plant) and the national unions, and praises the local union branch. |
