THE charismatic union leader who led the 1971 work-in at Upper Clyde Shipbuilders is to join protesters outside the Faslane nuclear base next week.
Ex-Communist Jimmy Reid will be among a group of pensioners staging a Valentine's Day blockade of the base.
The protest, led by Largs man Harry McEachan, is against government proposals to replace the Trident nuclear missile system.
Mr Reid will be joined at next week's Pensioners for Peace protest by his wife Joan.
