Invergordon 1931. Shipshape and Mutiny Fashion: How they Fought the Pay Cuts, by Liz Willis (2011). £0.70p
Financial crisis, national (coalition) government imposing a programme of drastic cuts in wages, supposedly forced on them by the state of the world economy, and insisting on the need for public-sector workers to accept a lowering of living standards, extending even to the armed forces, in the national interest… The year was 1931, and one of the first and most effective shows of resistance came in an unexpected quarter.
A shorter version of this text appears in the current issue of Black Flag, No.234, late 2011, pp.17-19 (with some nice pictures).
