Producer Richard Attenborough’s valiant film exposes the fascist-communist nature of militant trade unions. It depicts worker leaders profiting off the pay and perks of capitalism but without compunction, wielding communist or anarchist means to exploit workers who want nothing more than honestly earned wages. It argues that anti-unionism isn’t anti-worker. If anything, it may be more pro-worker than unionism. It contrasts union stooges provoking hooliganism with conscientious workers, preserving their right to work.
