Banner Theatre presents: Union Gateway

Union Gateway - The Battle of Saltley Gate

7pm, Tuesday 3rd May 2022

1865 Club – Southampton

Banner celebrates the 50th anniversary of the labour movement victory of Saltley Gate, when 20,000 union workers walked out to support striking miners. They blockaded and closed down the coke depot, in Saltley, a massive show of solidarity that helped miners win the strike and a 30% pay rise!

With songs, stories and video, Banner links the historic struggle of the past to the struggles of today.

"The struggles of the past inspire the struggles of the future"
