There have been many arguments in the press and on television over recent months about the minimum wage, the Living Wage and the proposed National Living Wage, which is due to come into effect from April. 
But clashes over the salaries for workers are nothing new, as this picture from February 1960 shows. More than 6,000 men from Clydeside shipyards and engineering shops held a half-day token strike and marched  from Blythswood Square to Glasgow Green in support of their demand for higher wages for apprentices.
