The other large unions demanded similar wage increases and inflation became rampant during that period with from memory it being over 20% per annum at one stage.
Don't think that particular episode in history will be repeated. Social media wasn't around then and I think that the younger generations of today, do not have the same class war mentality as was prevalent at that time. Maybe more likely to blame us oldies, which could be really unpleasant for us.
