1984 British Miners Aid
1984 British Miners Aid
1984
Wellington Unions raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support British miners during their 1984 strike against pit closures. The poster is the original, signed by the Miners’ leader Arthur Scargill and British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. It was used for screen-printing a fund raising poster.
International Union Federations exist to foster solidarity between unions especially during disputes. New Zealand unions have made many such contributions to the struggles of workers overseas.
