Dave Douglass presents his new book "Ghost Dancer" and talks about Yorkshire events during the miners strike.

Dave Douglass is an ex-miner, working class militant and union organiser. As an NUM branch delegate since 1979, Dave has been involved in many campaigns most notably the 1984 miners strike. Throughout that time he has been a member of Class War and the IWW, as well as having written a number of books on his experiences of militancy in the coal fields of Durham and Yorkshire.

 

In the build up to the national strikes on the 30th November this event will recall the struggles of the past and the miners last generation, but also look to the future of working class resistance.
