Briefly... Austrian contractors, SFL, supply cheap Hungarian labour to power station desulphurization construction project.

Prevented from mixing with British construction workers on the site. One Hungarian worker seeks out British union steward. Seen talking. Called into contractors’ office … sent back to Hungary…(I think he must have been threatened, don’t know quite how).

The Hungarian, Barnabas, makes his way back to UK. No funds … has to walk eight miles to the power station where he beds down and waits to see British unionized workers. They find out about the intimidation and the earnings paid to Hungarian workers (six Euros an hour for heavy construction work). They strike demanding that Hungarian workers should be paid the same.

They are, I believe, now sacked and have been on strike for about 10 days.
