1973-4 was a period of industrial action by many unions. I remember this period well - doing school work by candle light - the winter of discontent etc, the three day week etc.
Interested to see Denys Brunsden - who will have his own entry on the blog in due course - organising annual conference at this time.
It's one of many national crises which the GA has gone through, but with the help of members and volunteers and staff alike has come through.
And throughout these times, the GA has still supported teachers, just as we will be when we return to school in August / September 2020...
