The 20th Century Remembered

on BBC Two England

In September 1969 Jack Jones became General Secretary of the giant Transport and General Workers Union - the nation's biggest and most powerful trade union.
In the last of four programmes he talks to Geoffrey Goodman , Industrial Editor of the Daily Mirror, about his nine years as General Secretary, during which time he confronted Mr Heath 's government over the implications of the Industrial Relations Act and faced the economic crisis of 1975, when he played a crucial role in the implementation of a voluntary pay policy which saved the Labour Government from collapse.
