The key contemporary witness is Hans-Jürgen Hinzer, NGG trade union secretary for 37 years, including 2004 to 2008 as strike officer for the Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland districts and subsequently as national strike officer until 2013. He has organised or helped to organise 167 strikes and thus played a key role in writing the history of NGG labour disputes.
