Until very recently, sit-ins appeared to be the prerogative of university students. When faced with redundancy or deadlock over wages. British workers preferred the traditional methods of go-slow, demonstration and strike to strengthen their case. But the occupation of the Upper Clyde Shipyards last year brought the sit-in from campus to shop-floor. In factories from Glasgow to Wiltshire, workers have been adopting this new industrial tactic.
George Scott analyses the events of the past year and asks whether the sit-in is just a temporary phenomenon or a more serious and important development in industrial affairs.
Producer MICHAEL GREEN (from Manchester)
