Now is the winter of our discontent?

Hi everyone

Well it is all happening in the field of Industrial Relations at the moment, train strikes, postal strikes and also Wincanton employees who manage distribution for Argos are also considering strike action.

I thought it would be interesting to look back at the original winter of discontent, and from a look at the impact of the industrial action then it does not seem comparable to what happened in the 70s

Enjoy the brief foray back in time when it was very much so a winter of doscontent!

All the best
