Great Britain London News International Dispute
A policeman wards off missiles with his riot shield, as his colleagues lift a man to his feet, after he was knocked down during disturbances in London on Jan. 25, 1987. The date marked the first anniversary of Rupert Murdoch’s News International move to a new printing plant in Wapping. As a result over 5,000 print workers lost their jobs. The outbreak of violence between picket lines of former News International print workers and police was the worst seen in the year-long dispute. (AP Photo/Gerald Penny)
