Programme:

5-5.10pm Welcome: Michael Gold and Linda Clarke (Chairs)

5.10-5.40pm Ralph Darlington Labour Revolt in Britain 1910-14

The ‘Labour Revolt’ that swept Britain between 1910-14 was one of the most sustained, dramatic and violent explosions of industrial militancy and social conflict the country has ever experienced. It was a revolt dominated by unskilled and semi-skilled workers, many acting independently of national trade-union officials. It led to widespread solidarity action, phenomenal union membership growth, breakthroughs in both industrial unionism and female union organisation, and a dramatic increase in the collective power of the working-class movement, including a process of political radicalisation that directly challenged the Liberal government. With new archival research and fresh insights, and combining history from below and above, this paper provides a multi-dimensional portrayal of the context, causes, actors, dynamics and significance of the Labour Revolt.

5.40-6.10pm Raquel Varela Economic Crises and Strikes: Historical Trends in the Last Century in Europe

Are there more strikes in times of economic crisis? Is there a relationship between reactionary social policies and loss of rights on the one hand and social struggles and strikes on the other? Or are there more strikes in periods of economic growth and workforce shortages? This presentation analyses these hypotheses based on a number of major crisis events of the last century, including the Wall Street Crash (1929), the oil crises (1970s) and the global financial (subprime) crisis (2008). It will use the categories of multiple determination and uneven and combined development to propose some research hypotheses and preliminary conclusions for debate.

6.10-7pm General discussion

7pm Close
