When News International planned to move to Wapping in January 1986 and talks with the unions broke down nearly 6000 workers went on strike. Rupert Murdoch immediately served all the strikers with notices of dismissal. Overnight, Murdoch then moved the Times, Sunday Times, Sun and News of the World to the new site and staffed it with new people from different skills areas. Murdoch had demanded the unions accept flexible working, agree to a no-strike clause, adopt new technology and abandon their closed shop.
