Nine months of standing on picket lines, being harassed by racists and assaulted by management-and yet the strikers at Grunwick are more determined than ever to win their battle for union recognition.
They know the strike is costing the firm far more than it will ever save by withholding this basic right.
In fact, Grunwick management have pulled every dirty trick in the book-physical intimidation strikers, pay rises for workers who scab, contracting work out privateNOOSE ly when trade unionists refuse 1 cross picket lines, and even refusir to accept the decision of ACA arbitration.
This struggle by a less-privilege group of workers for basic unic rights has correctly won suppo from trade unionists across Londe and nationally.
Resolutions in support of it Grunwick strike have been passe by the TUC, by hundreds of trac union branches, trades councils an conferences. But the strike dra on!
Any worker on the picket lir will tell you how the strike coul be ended in a day, or even an hou totat post office union blacking ‹ all Grunwick post.
