EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured in 1970, members of the Draughtsmen's and Allied Technicians Association (DATA) from Rolls Royce in Coventry are seen campaigning on Tothill Street in London. The men, who were locked out during a pay dispute, stand united with placards displaying slogans demanding fair treatment and better wages.
The photograph encapsulates a moment of industrial unrest and protest during the 1970s, as these dedicated workers fight for their rights amidst growing tensions within the motor industry. With determination etched on their faces, they make their voices heard against the backdrop of a bustling city street.
As they stand together in solidarity, it is clear that these men are not just employees but proud members of a union fighting for justice. The presence of police officers nearby serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by those advocating for change in an era marked by social upheaval.
This snapshot captures a pivotal moment in history when labor disputes were at the forefront of public consciousness. It stands as a testament to the resilience and strength of working-class individuals who refuse to be silenced in their quest for equality and fair treatment.
