National strike of 1972[edit]

While I can't claim to be knowledgeable regarding UCATT's history the language and general demeanour of this article (especially the “Post Warren” section) is not suggestive of an even handed approach. A sound article on Wiki would be extremely useful as all other internet articles regarding this are either by UCATT, union affiliated bodies or the likes of Socialist Worker... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.138.65 (talk) 20:47, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good call. I have trimmed it, linking to the source used for "Post Warren" instead of pasting it in (which was not allowed anyway as WP:COPYVIO). I added a Guardian column by Tomlinson, but doubt that there are any sources (WP:IRS) for any other point of view, so all we can do is summarise the unionists' reports in a WP:NPOV way. – Fayenatic London 20:35, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with first comment 'not even-handed'. The article claims 'the whole UK trades union movement were behind the Shrewsbury Two' yet has to admit that Ricky Tomlinson was sidelined at the TUC conference only months later which suggests they viewed him as a militant/extreme hard left character, certainly not backing him wholeheartedly. Also is 'on the lump' acceptable standard English? 213.202.161.252 (talk) 07:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Seems like a lot of material has been posted here from a very strong viewpoint - not saying I agree or disagree with it (I only really skimmed it), but not sure it can really be considered objective, in any case.
