The 1980 national steelworkers strike was an epic social and political event. It was the first national industrial conflict between trade unions and the new Thatcher government, lasting for three months and involving over 100,000 workers. The strike was also, at that time, the longest national industrial stoppage since 1926. The strike was nominally in response to a 2% pay offer made by British Steel Corporation (BSC), at a time when inflation was 17%, but was generated by deeper factors, namely the widespread works closures that were devastating the industry. Over 60,000 jobs were lost between 1973-1978 and shortly before the strike occurred, BSC had announced a further 52,000 redundancies, around one-third of the workforce. > Using oral history testimonies taken from workers throughout the country, the book explores the strike, its origins, development, outcome, and longer-term impact and consequences. It argues that the strike was a critical turning point in British history and one which would have serious implications for working class organisations and communities in the years that followed.
