    1. The Miners’ Strike 40 years on and the lessons for today

    Our March meeting will start with discussion of a new book documenting the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike and what it can teach us as trade union activists and media workers today.

    Author and Magazine branch member Mike Simons will talk about how the book, titled Blood Sweat and Tears, came together – describing key moments in the miners’ struggles and how supporters documented events on the picket lines and within communities to fight back against the establishment narrative, record the reality and build solidarity for their struggle.

    Discussion will be followed by the branch Annual General Meeting (AGM), plus regular branch business including Late Notice Motions for Delegate Meeting and regular monthly branch business.
