Description

Interview with TGWU leader, Ron Todd, following the ending of the national docks strike. The surprise decision came this afternoon during crisis talks as more and more dockers returned to work. The union’s ruling executive finally decided to give up and voted eighteen to twelve to call off the strike. Interviewer not heard. Poor audio quality.
