Conrad Atkinson Industrial Relations Bill <\/em><\/strong>1971
\n3 minutes. Collection: Artist<\/p>\n

Conrad Atkinson’s film was made in response to the Heath Government’s Bill of 1970, cialis<\/a> which became an Act in 1971. The Act restricted Trade Union rights, check<\/a> and led to strikes by dock workers and miners. Here Atkinson’s film is symbolic, ailment<\/a> and its meaning enigmatic; on other occasions he used film to document specific industrial disputes, such as that at Brannans, a factory in his home town of Cleator Moor. The film is silent.
