  3 October 2019: Ecuador Indigenous protests 03.10.2026 1min

  On this day, 3 October 2019, a series of protests led by Indigenous peoples began in Ecuador in protest at an austerity package backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) known as Decree 883. The bill, aimed at reducing public spending, included pay cuts and increases in fuel costs of at least 30%. The movement began with a strike of transport workers on 3 October. After unions called off the stoppage, Indigenous peoples then took the lead in organising disruptive street protests. After a two-week period, protesters with improvised shields and wooden sticks blocked roads and seriously disrupted the economy, closing businesses and drastically reducing oil production. Eight Indigenous protesters were killed over the course of the events, over 1,000 people were injured and over 1,000 arrested before the government caved in and scrapped the bill. Indigenous activists vowed to continue to struggle for better treatment.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10251/ecuador-indigenous-protestsLearn more about Indigenous struggles in these books: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/indigenousOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

  30 September 1919: Daily Sketch workers censorship 30.09.2026 1min

  On this day, 30 September 1919, compositors and pressmen working at The Daily Sketch newspaper in London refused to print the paper until an editorial criticising an ongoing railway strike was deleted. That same day, another newspaper had its publication delayed by its workers demanding that a government advert appealing to the public to resist the strike be thrown out. However they were persuaded by union leaders to withdraw their demand. Newspaper packers and delivery drivers also tried to delay and sabotage their distribution. Two days later, bosses at the far-right Daily Mail tabloid threatened to close the publication down rather than give in to a complaint from their print workers about their coverage of the railway strike. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10347/london-print-workers-black-anti-strike-editorialOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

  29 September 1909: Missoula free-speech fight 29.09.2026 1min

  On this day, 29 September 1909, the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union began the first of what became known as the free speech fights, in Missoula, Montana. Members would publicly speak on the streets of the town in open defiance of a law banning public speaking. When one speaker was arrested another took their place, including well known organisers Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who was pregnant at the time, and Frank Little. As a result, the local jail was filled with no end to the stream of workers coming in to speak. By 8 October the council declared the IWW could speak wherever they liked and dropped all charges against members who had been arrested for speaking. This campaign would be the first of many similar free speech fights throughout the United States.

  18 September 1809: Old price riots 18.09.2026 1min

  On this day, 18 September 1809, the old price riots began in the Covent Garden Theatre in London during the opening night of Macbeth in protest at increased prices at the newly reopened venue. The original theatre had burned down, and when it reopened standard ticket prices had increased from 3 shillings and sixpence to 4 shillings. After the play ended, the audience refused to leave so the owner, John Kemble, called police, however this escalated the situation and rioters did not disperse until 2 AM. Kemble later hired a famous boxer and some of his associates to quell the protests, but this also failed and resulted in increased violence. Protests and disorder, heavily imbued with humour and merriment, continued for 64 days until Kemble reverted his prices and issued an apology.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9052/old-price-riotsOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

  16 September 1937: Kirkintilloch tragedy 16.09.2026 1min

  On this day, 16 September 1937, ten young migrants from Achill Island, Ireland died in a shed fire in Kirkintilloch, Scotland. A group of 26 young migrant workers, many of whom were siblings, were part of the many migrants looking for temporary work during the height of the harvest season. The victims were from 13 to 23-years-old and slept in quarters arranged with the boys in a shed with inverted potato boxes covered in straw as bedding. Late in their first night there, the bodies of the young men and boys were found huddled in a corner opposite the door protecting each other. The news of these deaths struck Achill Island as the Connaught Telegraph in County Mayo reported the ‘weeping of mothers torn with grief as the dreadful tidings passed quickly from lip to lip.’ This event led to local authorities being given more jurisdiction over the regulation of accommodations for seasonal workers, but with a conservative ruling party, the new regulations were not well enforced.The names of the victims were: Thomas Cattigan, Patrick Kilbane, Thomas Kilbane, John McLoughlin, Michael McLoughlin, John Mangan, Thomas Mangan, Michael Mangan, Owen Kilbane, and Patrick McNeela.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8842/kirkintilloch-tragedyOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
