Unite's Richard O'Brien and Chris Matheson take refuge from the
cold with local activists in the strike shack.
The hardship of the 7 month strike is born bravely by all the
strikers. They would rather starve than cross the picket line.
A big fire helps the pickets get their message across despite the
chilling -30 degree temperature.
Local 6500 is setting up home in a new union hall. It used to be a
supermarket now it houses the food bank that helps the strikers and
their families keep body and soul together.
Local 6500 set up a clothes bank to help families through the
struggle. It's just like a store but it's all free to striking
steelworkers.
You're waiting 12 minutes mister, it's the law!
