Description

Len Murray, TUC General Secretary, speaks on the increased cost of living and possible reactions by union members and their families. Murray and an unidentified male interviewer discuss the phrase ‘Winter of Discontent’, first coined last winter. Murray says engineering unions, calling for a reduction in working hours from 40 to 39, haven’t formally asked for TUC support.
