EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of trade unionism. Taken in the 1970s at a hotel in Westcombe Park, Greenwich, it showcases shop stewards from the Isle of Grain Power Station gathered for an important meeting. These dedicated representatives came together to discuss and advocate for the rights and welfare of their fellow workers. The image exudes a sense of purpose and unity as these individuals engage in deep conversations within the meeting room. Their determination to protect workers' interests is palpable, reflecting the essence of trade unionism during this era. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust, this photograph serves as a testament to Historic England's commitment to preserving and sharing our rich heritage. It offers us a glimpse into an era when collective action was paramount, reminding us of how far we have come in securing worker's rights. As we reflect on this powerful image, let us acknowledge and appreciate those who fought tirelessly for fair treatment and better working conditions. Their legacy continues to shape our present-day understanding of labor rights while inspiring future generations to stand up for what they believe in.
