General notes:
The strike was the result of the introduction of new machinery and rates of pay for the girls in the copwinding department. This resulted in all 1500 workers going on strike for eleven days until management agreed that the weekly wage would not be affected. The postcard shows the support from many trade unions, specifically those supporting women workers.
