KEMIRA - DIARY OF A STRIKE

The film deals with one of the most determined attempts by workers to challenge the right of companies to make mass dismissals of workers on solely economic pretexts. In September 1982, at the height of the economic recession, Australian Iron and Steel, a subsidiary of Australia's largest company BHP, announced its intention to retrench 400 miners from six coal pits which supplied the company's Wollongong steelworks.
