Len Murray was appointed OBE in 1966; sworn of the Privy Council in 1976; and elevated to the peerage, as Lord Murray of Epping Forest, in 1985.
Murray believed that his greatest failure was "not recognising that when Mrs Thatcher won the 1979 election she had tapped into some profound changes in thinking and attitudes among British people, including trades unionists, and believing she was a passing breeze that would blow itself out".
Murray and the TUC staff did all they could to moderate the ferocity of the Winter of Discontent; but the upsurge of bitterness, reflected first in the lorry drivers' dispute and later in the low paid public sector workers' offensive, inflicted severe damage on the union movement and the Labour government.
