In 1984-5, a strike by mine workers rocked the foundations of the British capitalist state. The strike was a counter-offensive against the Thatcher government’s class-war policy which aimed to smash the labour movement.

40 years on, what can we learn from the strike? What role did Tube and other transport workers play in supporting it? And how might things have turned out differently?

Speakers include:

- Jill Mountford, active during the strike as part of Women Against Pit Closures
- James Burns Hogg, striking miner, Bilston Glen Colliery
- Glenroy Watson, former London Underground worker and RMT/NUR activist, active in supporting the strike
