Justice for the Shrewbury 24 Trade Unionist
The campaign committee was set up by several of the convicted Shrewsbury pickets with local trade union activists following a meeting in Liverpool in 2006. We are supported by many national trade unions, local branches and trades council as well as by individuals. We welcome further affiliations and support.
Our campaign is seeking to overturn the unjust prosecution of 24 building workers who were charged following the first ever national building workers strike in 1972. They picketed building sites in Shrewsbury during the dispute and were prosecuted in Shrewsbury Crown Court in 1973. They became known as the “Shrewsbury 24”.
This Campaign is Supported by the Northwest Probation and CAFCASS Branch and we ask you to
Ask your MP to sign the Early Day Motion by John McDonnell MP.
