EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history when two giants of the trade union movement, Mick McGahey and Arthur Scargill, came together during the turbulent times of the Miners Strike in the 1980s.
Mick McGahey, a Scottish miners leader and lifelong communist, stands alongside Arthur Scargill, another prominent figure in the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM). Both men were known for their unwavering dedication to fighting for workers' rights and better conditions for miners across the country.
In this image, taken at a meeting around the time of the strike, you can see the intensity and passion on their faces as they engage in discussions about politics and strategies to support their fellow miners. The audience looks on attentively, knowing that these two men are leading them through one of the most challenging periods in their industry's history.
As executives within NUM, McGahey and Scargill were instrumental in shaping policies and decisions that would impact thousands of lives. Their commitment to solidarity and standing up against injustice made them heroes to many within the labor movement.
This print serves as a reminder of their legacy - one that continues to inspire generations of trade unionists who strive for fairness and equality in workplaces worldwide.
