  • Summary

  • Joined by Brian Reynolds of the RMT we examine the beautiful Blockade Runners to Spain memorial. Situated on the banks of the Clyde, this monument stands as a testament to the brave actions of the seafarers who broke Franco’s blockade of Republican ports. Thirty-five merchant navy and eight Royal Navy seafarers died and scores were injured on vessels attacked by submarine, naval and aerial forces under fascist control between 1936-38. The memorial to seafarers will stand as renewed testimony to the importance of international solidarity in the face of fascist aggression. We also examine the need for Trade Unions to remember such actions and what role Trade Unions must play in the fight against fascism
