EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a momentous gathering of influential figures from 36 Shipbuilding and Engineering Unions as they convene with Sir Thomas Inskip, the esteemed minister for Co-Ordination of Defence. The meeting takes place at the Ministry of Labour, where these individuals have assembled to deliberate on the pressing matter of expediting armaments production. The composition showcases a distinguished lineup of leaders representing various unions, each contributing their expertise to this crucial discussion. From left to right, we see A. G. Tomkins from Furnishing Trades Association, accompanied by Alex Gossip, the General Secretary of Furnishing Trades. William Westwood stands tall as President of Shipbuilding and Engineering Confederation while Allen Findley represents United Pattern Makers as their Secretary. Also present are D. G. Wilkie, the General Secretary of Amalgamated Society of Vehicle Makers and Mr J. Wigglesworth who holds the position Steel Dressers General Secretary in Manchester. This snapshot frozen in time was captured on March 24th, 1938 - an era marked by rapid industrialization and escalating tensions across Europe. Alfieri's monochrome lens immortalizes not only these prominent personalities but also serves as a poignant reminder of the pivotal role played by shipbuilding and engineering unions during this critical period in history
