| Description: |
Historian and novelist John Tully tells the story of the previously relatively unknown Silvertown strike, arguing for its significance to both the labour and socialist movements. Tully presents the Silvertown Strike as a source of inspiration for today's workers, in London and around the world, who continue to struggle for better workplaces. |
| Synopsis: |
In 1889, Samuel Winkworth Silver's rubber and electrical factory was the site of a massive worker revolt that upended the London industrial district which bore his name: Silvertown. The workers, long ignored by traditional craft unions, aligned themselves with the socialist-led 'New Unionism' movement. They shut down Silvertown and, in the process, helped to launch a more radical, modern labour movement. With a foreword by John Callow and an introductory comment by John Marriott. |
