	Wapping dispute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wapping dispute started on 24 January 1986 when some 6,000 newspaper workers went on strike after months of protracted negotiation with their new employers, News International (parent of Times Newspapers and News Group Newspapers, chaired by Rupert Murdoch).
		The company management was seeking a legally binding agreement at its new plant in Wapping, London, which would force the workers to accept flexible working, a no-strike clause, the adoption of new technology and the abandonment of the closed shop.
		People in Wapping were largely viewed by the police as sympathetic to the strikers, and were frequently denied access to their streets and homes.
