Forty years ago – on 25th Jan 1984 - Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government attacked trade union rights at GCHQ. Union members were told to resign their membership or be sacked. After a long campaign marked by the fortitude of the workers and their families, and the solidarity of the whole movement, they were reinstated when an incoming Labour government repealed the ban.
Today, the government has passed laws that could restrict the right to strike for over five million workers. On Saturday 27 Jan the TUC have arranged a rally to defend the right to strike. The nominations are still open for the TUC Disabled Workers & LGBT+ Workers TUC equality conferences.

On the day the total prize got to £50. A picture of the winner with Neil and the £50 gift card is below, with other pictures of the successful recruitment day too.
