Why a blog?

This blog aims to collect some of the various material produced to promote the events organised to celebrate this important anniversary. The Upper Clyde Shipbuilders' work in of 1971-2, was organised and run by the Shop Stewards Co-ordinating Committee on the four yards earmarked for closure by the then Tory government. The workforce refused to accept this fate and took over the yards - continuing to work on the ships ordered.

The lessons for workers and communities facing the current Tory government and its attack on people's services and jobs are clear.

UCS Anniversary in the media - part 2

In addition to the references in the post on this topic on 30/09/11 the main broadcast media have published material following the concert. BBC Scotland ran a piece on Sunday's Politics Show, and have a report on the concert on their website.

STV have a nice piece 'Voices from UCS' with interviews with UCS stewards.
