Two short clips featuring NUM President Joe Gormley: a statement, in which he regrets the National Coal Board’s unsatisfactory response to the wages claim, and calls on union members to vote for industrial action; and an interview, in which he tells the unidentified male interviewer the situation could result in a national strike, although he hopes it won’t.
