“Our courage was percolating through our fingertips”.
Class or Company Loyalty? explores the experiences of unionised workers employed in two companies, one large, one small, operating in Bristol’s printing industry before, during and immediately after the General Strike. Mike Richardson traces the history of the changing power dynamics between capital and labour at the two workplaces and considers what impact the strike had on industrial relations at these companies.
The common theme running through these case studies is the impact on workplace dynamics. Workers with deeply divided loyalties had to make the difficult choice, loyalty to their class or their company.
