Remember Des Warren - Justice for the Shrewsbury Pickets
Merseyside Hazards & Environmental Centre | 20.06.2006 18:14 | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Liverpool
Out of the pickets jailed at Shrewsbury following the national building workers strike of 1972 (including Ricky Tomlinson), Des Warren served the longest sentence. His trial on conspiracy charges was part of the attempt by the Tory government of the day to destroy basic trade union rights.
It is now 30 years since Des was released from his three-year prison sentence. Des suffered permanent injury to his health from drugs administered in jail, and this ultimately led to his death in April 2004.
· Commemorate Des
· Justice for the 24 pickets convicted of conspiracy
· End casualised labour
Please print off and distribute the flyer for the event.
