Kilnhurst Strike

Strikes had taken place Kilnhurst connection with the chemical workers, who claimed the terms, conditions, and wages applied to chemical workers by the National Industrial Council.

The strike had been in progress for eight weeks because firm involved had refused to grant the concession. After a long discussion, the Council declared its intention to support financially the claims of the men in order to secure for them what had already been granted to other chemical workers.
