The Labour Movement Hasn't Really Recovered From the Demoralization Caused by the Miners Strike

This is the most intense wave of labor militancy we are seeing now since the defeat of the miners and the print workers in in the mid 80s i think so that does put the current strike wave in a really significant historical perspective. Real wages just drop ever since well it depends how you measure real wages where does he does a share of GDP in wages. The property marks is a thing to pay attention to as an economic historian  is not real wagesreal wages are almost impossible to measure to be honest because the amount of stuff you can buy changes but there's other things i love as much as chips now which they definitely weren't in like 1982.
