'A Strike-breaker is a traitor' 1984

Description

This leaflet from the Miners' Strike in 1984 uses the language and image of an earlier bitter dispute in the Garw Valley in 1929 to comment on the activities of strike breakers in the 1984 Miners' strike. The language of traitors, scabs, blacklegs, biblical references and the photograph of marching police leaves the reader in no doubt about the attitudes of people to those who broke ranks with the strikers in 1984.
