Eddy Shah, prime minister and Margaret Thatcher at the National Free Enterprise awards in 1984. Shah saw his chance when new printing technology and new anti-union laws presented the perfect opportunity for trying to break the power of the print workers’ union. But the foundation for the printers’ defeat was laid not only by state forces but also by the sell-outs within the trade union movement itself: namely, by the treacherous leaders of the TUC and the electricians’ union.
