The Story of the Dirty 30

As part of the Everybody's Reading festival I & a number of other PCS members went to the above event featuring book readings & song.


The Dirty 30 were the Leicestershire miners who went on strike in 1984.

It is small consolation that they were right about the devastation of their industry & their communities but their story was truly inspiring.

The solidarity of other workers was there in 1984 & is still there today. We may need it in the struggles for justice that we have started on.
