Description

This book provides a unique inside view of the 103-day occupation against closure of Caterpillar's factory in Scotland starting in January 1987.

The authors of Track Record were present dining the occupation and documented the entire campaign in a 'fly-on-the-wall' fashion with the full permission and support of the Joint Occupation Committee. Based on tape recordings made at the time and interviews with the major protagonists in this industrial drama, Track Record vividly recreates the atmosphere and tension, the conflicting emotions and hopes aroused by the occupation.

The authors explain why this dispute had a massive impact on Scottish political life, helping to isolate Scottish Conservatives in the run-up to the 1987 election.

Track Record also raises wider questions about the role of multinational companies and the scope for resistance to them.
