EDITORS COMMENTS
Ben Rubner, the fearless General Secretary of the Furniture, Timber and Allied Trades Union (FTAT), was a man dedicated to fighting for workers' rights and social justice. In this powerful print from the 1980s, we see Rubner passionately speaking at a conference, advocating for change and equality.
Throughout his tenure as General Secretary from 1976 to 1986, Rubner not only fought for better working conditions and fair wages for union members but also used his platform to campaign against injustices on a global scale. He was an outspoken critic of the Vietnam War and a staunch opponent of the apartheid system in South Africa.
Rubner's commitment to pacifism and civil rights made him a respected figure within the trade union movement and beyond. His legacy as a tireless advocate for social change continues to inspire activists today.
This print captures Ben Rubner at his most dynamic – standing up for what he believed in with unwavering determination. It serves as a reminder of the power of one individual to make a difference in the world through activism and advocacy.
