We are commemorating the day that 30,000 Birmingham Trade Unionists went on strike in support of the National Union of Mineworkers in their bid for fair pay.  https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2012/01/491612.html

15,000 engineering workers picketed to close the gates of the last remaining open fuel depot - Saltley.

The blockade forced police to close the gates.
