Sowerbutt's Strike

"Sorbay made good money in the '47 Docks Strike." The retired writer for the East London Pioneer, who still has the notebook from his 1960s interview, said: "Food was going off in the unloaded ships, so Jimmy led his lads in and fought a pitched battle with the unionists and the Reds. Guess who won? He was trucking out food, which sold at a top price, for several days before the Army moved in and broke the strike."
