- Information
Description
In 1889, Samuel Winkworth Silver's rubber and electrical factory was the site of a massive worker revolt that upended the London industrial district which bore his name: Silvertown.
The workers, long ignored by traditional craft unions, aligned themselves with the socialist-led 'New Unionism' movement.
They shut down Silvertown and, in the process, helped to launch a more radical, modern labour movement. With a foreword by John Callow and an introductory comment by John Marriott.
