Sunningdale and the Ulster Workers Strike (Part Two): The loyalist ‘revolt’
Manage episode 415364459 series 3379610
Northern Ireland had never seen the like of the Ulster Workers Strike – a rebellion against the state – by loyalists. The strikers wanted an end to the Sunningdale power-sharing executive and everything that went with it. It was mostly peaceful but was punctuated by the bloodiest day of the Troubles – the Dublin Monaghan bombings.
In Part 2 of a three-part series – Ciarán Dunbar looks at how the Ulster Workers Strike began, and why.
