4 April 1886: Pastor condemns strikes in New Haven
On 4 April 1886 Rev Newman Smith, pastor of the Centre Congregational Church in New Haven, Connecticut, delivered a lecture at the Labor Lyceum in the city where he condemned strikes.<br />According to the New York Times, New Haven at the time had "picked up the reputation lately of having more strikes than any other city of its size in the country". Business owners, and the media, were uniting to fight against the Knights of Labor and other organisations of workers trying to achieve better pay and safer working conditions.<br />Rev Smith, while he said he supported the right to strike, claimed that strikes "killed the goose that lays the golden eggs." He also argued that strikers should not try to prevent scab replacement workers from working, arguing that "if 70 men in any community say they won't work in a certain way and the seventy-first man shan't work at all if not with them, the public will stand by the seventy-first man every time." <br />More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7950/pastor-condemns-strikes<br /><br /><i>Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on <a href="https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon</a>.

3 April 1967: Barbican workers strike
On this day, 3 April 1967 construction firm Myton, assisted by the police and the construction workers' union National Federation of Building Trades Operatives, attempted to bring in a scab workforce to replace unofficial strikers who were demanding reinstatement of victimised worker activists on the Barbican site in London. The strikers had been out for 6 months, and were threatened with expulsion from their union (which would also cost them jobs in closed shop sites). A union official who tried to support the workers was sacked by the union. Still the workers held out for over 7 more months against the employers, the unions and the police but were eventually forced to give in. <br />More information and sources: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10152/myton-buses-in-barbican-scabs<br /><br /><i>Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on <a href="https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon</a>.

Grenoble: The Caterpillar Bossnapping
On this day, 31 March 2009, around 40 workers in the Caterpillar factory in Grenoble, France stormed their bosses' offices and kept four of them hostage, demanding better severance packages for workers being laid off. <br />Over 700 French Caterpillar workers were being made redundant. <br />The action was successful, and the company increased its pot of redundancy money by €1.5 million: leading to an average payout of €80,000 per worker. <br />More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10383/caterpillar-bossnapping<br /><br /><i>Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on <a href="https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">patreon</a>.
