United We Stand
Following the successful 'The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' and 'We Will Be Free! - The Tolpuddle Martyrs Story', Townsend Productions presents United We Stand by Neil Gore, a powerful new play based on one of the most tumultuous industrial battles - the 1972 Builders' Strike.
With the UK's building companies making millions re-building the country, building workers faced the most dangerous working conditions and poorest wages of any trade. In the summer of '72 construction workers launched their industry's first national all-out strike to end cash "lump" wages and seek better pay.
The partial success of the strike and the anger of businesses culminated in the arrest of 24 builders in North Wales who were charged with offences including conspiracy to intimidate and affray. The "24" were prosecuted at Shrewsbury Crown Court in 1973 and three were jailed, including building workers Des Warren and Ricky Tomlinson.
