A Job for Willy

0.051mSeptember 1, 1965

Mogul's new rig is almost finished at a yard on the Tyne when foreman Rogers dismisses Willy Murtagh for unsafe work. Willy, a vulnerable young man whose late father was a respected union leader, is a favourite of the workforce, and the men respond with a work to rule. Sent north by Brian Stead, Peter Thornton and Derek Prentice try to settle the dispute before it turns into a full strike.
