English | ISBN: 1739656318 | 2022 | 541 pages | PDF | 18 MB
In an inspirational struggle that began in September 1995 and lasted for two years and four months, 500 Liverpool dockers fought for their jobs after being sacked for refusing to cross a picket line. Liverpool Dockers: A history of rebellion and betrayal charts the background to the dispute, the Liverpool dockers’ epic struggle, and the legacy of their fight for justice. Mike Carden, a former shop steward and one of the leaders of the sacked Liverpool Dockers, compiled this important labour history from original documents such as diaries, audio recordings, meeting minutes, and documentary film. It is a meticulously referenced work that tells the story of the Liverpool Dockers’ 1995 dispute and offers a sophisticated analysis of the underlying reasons for the dispute – with contemporary relevance for the labour movement today.

Free Download Brian Marren, "We shall not be moved: How Liverpool’s working class fought redundancies, closures and cuts in the age of Thatcher"
English | 2018 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 1526132966, 071909576X | PDF | 15,9 mb
The city of Liverpool had frequently been prone to industrial unrest for most of its recent history, but it was the dawn of Thatcher and the sanctioning of neoliberal economic strategies which made Liverpool a nucleus of resistance against the encroaching tide of right-wing politics and sweeping de-industrialisation. This critique explores six case studies which will illustrate how elements of a highly politicised local working-class fought against the rapid rise in forced redundancies and industrial closures. Some of their responses included strikes, factory occupations, the organisation and politicisation of the unemployed, consent to radical left-wing municipal politics, as well as tacit endorsement a period of violent civil unrest. This critique concludes that in the range, intensity and use of innovative tactics deployed during these conflicts, Liverpool was distinctive.
