## Resource

Audio version of the pamphlet. More here: https://workersliberty.org/laird-occupation In 1984 workers at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead occupied their workplace in defence of jobs. The occupation and the strike which preceded it lasted just over three months, and then on 3 October the occupiers were arrested. 37 of them were found guilty of contempt of court and jailed. There is a campaign to lift the convictions. Workers’ Liberty has published this pamphlet so that we can remember those who took risks to fight to save not just their jobs but the jobs of future generations.
