>Endless strikes
That's the lie you got from the Daily Mail (or one of the many other lying rags). Strikes were never as common as the rags pretended - most union members never went on strike, during their entire careers. Those that did, did it rarely - and only when employers behaved like total prats.
At Leyland, industrial reporters learned to predict strikes, by observing the surplus of cars stored, unsold. When the surplus got too big, some management numpty would sack a shop steward, provoking a strike, allowing the surplus to be run down.
