Len Murray General Secretary of the Trade Union at the Trades Union Congress September 1975
Murray led the TUC through some of its most turbulent years following a worldwide economic crisis, largely caused by th worldwide oil shortage. Throughout the seventies Britain was paralysed by strikes leading to the introduction of a three day week and later the so-called " Winter of Discontent." The battle between the government and the unions came to a head with Margaret Thatchers election victory in 1979. Her efforts to subdue Trade union power were met with large scale striking, culminating in the Miners Strike. Murray again led the TUC through this period, yet in truth there was little he could do to prevent Britains trades union decline in the face of such powerful anti-union legislation brought in by Thatchers government.
