A reference to the 1985 SEQEB dispute starts at 4' 23": "Yeah, fifty-thousand big ones is what you're gonna pay if you are a power worker and out on strike these days. And if you join a picket you could be down a thousand bucks. And if you tell them stick it, they're gonna make you bankrupt. It's no good throwing you in prison, that's just bad publicity. That's the price you pay for your electricity."
