A journey down the Working River
The UnionDues podcast takes a trip down the River Thames, finding struggles and strikes, insurrection and inspiration. "But take away the Tudor palaces, Shakespeare’s plays, Handel’s Water Music, great paintings from Turner to Monet and look instead at The Great Rebellion of 1381, 1450’s Battle of London Bridge, The Nore Sands mutiny of 1797, 1889’s Dock Strike for a minimum wage of 6 old pence a day – the dockers’ tanner. The history of the Thames is often the history of our trade union movement."
And, on this week’s Labor History in 2: Striking against privatization in Alberta, Canada.
