The Transport and General Workers Union was the biggest trade union in Britain for much of the 20th century, with its membership in the late 1970s reaching more than two million. It organised workers across the whole economy - from the docks to the car factories, from light engineering to aviation - and its activities touched the lives of many.
Andrew Murray is the Chair of the Stop the War Coalition and the author of A New Labour Nightmare: Return of the Awkward Squad and Stop the War: The story of Britain's biggest mass movement. He has worked for the T&G, and now Unite the union, for most of the last twenty years.
