Grunwick strike and industrial dispute. Willesden, London, England circa 1977. Demonstrators show their displeasure towards the strike breakers by giving a nazi salute. Mrs Jayaben Desai led a group of predominantly Asian women protesting with left wing union demonstrators against low wages and poor working conditions and not being allowed to join a union at the Grunwick Film Processing Laboratory. The strike became a cause célèbre involving thousands of demonstrators; over 500 arrests were made during two years of often-violent clashes.
