## Caption

Triumph's owners tried to shut the factory down. The workers occupied it for over a year instead.

The Meriden sit-in became one of the most famous industrial standoffs in British history — and kept Triumph motorcycles alive under worker control for years.

Footage credits for every clip are shown on-screen throughout this video.
