Episode Synopsis

Today we go back 40 years - to when Brisbane was in the grips of the SEQEB dispute after Joh Bjelke-Peterson's government sacked over 1000 electrical workers. I speak to lifelong unionist Bob Carnegie about the dispute and it's effect, and also to Peter Ong from the Electrical Trades Union about the lessons learned for that union and what they are up to today.
