Title: Strike
Description: "It is a sad fact that the struggles of the working people of New Zealand have often been overlooked by historians ... This work is an attempt to redress the balance and to remind New Zealanders that our history is incomplete unless we look at the part that ordinary women and men, of all cultures, played in the development of this nation state through its formative stages to the society we know today ... The Trade Union History Project is ... grateful for the support shown by a number of groups and individuals to transform a very successful exhibition into a publication which will cement the struggle -- Foreword p. 7.
