STRIKE! During the great London strike of 1768, workers on the waterfront, textile workers, coal heavers, craftsmen, sailors, walked out to protest wage cuts, poor working conditions, and rigid discipline. They acted within a circle of slave rebellions, strikes, and riots taking place throughout the Atlantic world. The sailors "struck" the sails of their ships, bringing commerce to a standstill. When workers conduct collective job actions to defend their interests we still use the word STRIKE.
A poster with a 2-tone teal screenprint design of multiple ship masts with sailors crawling over them. The sails are pulled up as if for storage. The text in the toot is printed at the bottom as is the words: "Originally published by the Northland Poster Collective"
