I shall be attending the Cradley Heath Women Women Chainmaker's Festival at the Black Country Living Museum on Saturday September 12th.
The event commmemorates the fight of the Cradley Heath Women Chainmakers, who in 1910 went on strike for ten weeks and were successful in winning the first ever minimum wage. The TUC organised event celebrates the importance of Trade Union History and women at work. The day of entertainment starts at 10am and includes music and theatre from local performers along with speeches commencing at 12.30pm. We must all ensure that the legacy of the Cradley Heath Women Chainmakers lives on.
