withes_shin Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Because one of my uncles didn't go on strike and my other uncles did, they never spoke to each other during or after the strike. Unfortunately not speaking to each other continued until they were dead. That's how the strike had long term effects on friends, families, and communities as a whole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed ! another of wife's relations was in NACODS, who IIRC didn't come out. There was unpleasantness there for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
