TUC campaign materials against the Industrial Relations Bill, 1971

As part of its campaign against the 1971 Industrial Relations Bill, the TUC distributed over one and a half million publications (including the pamphlets 'Reason' and 'Shut up and keep working' shown here).

Advertisements opposing the Bill were placed in the national and provincial press, two short films were made and distributed and a petition carrying 550,000 names was presented to the House of Commons. As shown here, the TUC also produced a record with a message from Victor Feather, TUC General Secretary, 'Time to think again' on one side and calypso music and song 'Cooperate not legislate' by Horace James Steel Band on the other.
