Spotlight Pits in the picture


In 1985, the NUJ gave a loan for the publication of Blood, Sweat & Tears, a photo book on the miners’ strike. The loan was paid back and profits given to a fund for sacked miners. London magazine


branch member Mike Simons has republished an expanded edition with a view to renumerating the photographers whose work did so much to communicate the severity of this dispute. “I always thought at


the time they were poorly acknowledged and today find their work splashed across


the internet with no acknowledgement, still less any payment,” says Simons. Some of the pictures


appeared in Still the Enemy, the 2014 film Simons helped produce, and in Ken Loach’s film The Old Oak. “We have produced a


book that the photographers will be proud of and which will help inspire the next generation of union activists,” he says.


Also looking back to


the strike – and pretty much every industrial dispute of the era – is Roy Jones, the pipe- fitter turned Morning Star reporter who joined the NUJ in 1982. Reminiscences of a


Worker Correspondent is his memoir, reflecting on everything from Communist Party election campaigns to Rupert Murdoch’s move to Wapping.
