Example Sentences
- "The ILP [Independent Labour Party] gained prestige for its prominent role during the strike. Salter told the press, 'I shall not rest satisfied until every working man, woman and girl in Bermondsey is a member of a trade union.' The response was immediate. In early September a National Union of Barmen, Barmaids and Potmen was launched at the Labour Institute. Leaflets inviting barworkers to join this union described bar staff earning 14 shillings for a 100-hour week. Publicans said they provided many barworkers with free board and lodgings but barworkers retorted that accommodation was overcrowded and they shared poor quality food."
