In 1835, mill workers went on strike. They wanted their hours reduced from 13,5 to 11 hours. And boy you won't believe what happens next. So about 20 mills went on strike. 1500 children (cause yeah those had to work) and parents walked out. The strike lasted 6 weeks. Scabs (strikebreakers) were brought in by the bosses…. As they still do or try. And in the end they strikers won a reduction to 12 hour days. It ain't easy, but it is the way we win. Let's get inspired!
