Description: | In the mid-1970s there was a high rate of inflation, of around 15 - 25%. A pay settlement of 4.00 plus 1% flat rate resulted in poor deal for middle management. After comparability studies in the late 1970s an offer was made of 10% to make up for the loss. This resulted in strike action. A settlement was later fixed at 18%. During the strike action, because of his dealings with the private sector, (including architects and quantity surveyors) and conflicting instructions from management and his union Malcolm found himself in a difficult position. He wrote a diary of his conversations and actions during this time.
