110 years ago the power looms in Lurgan’s major linen producers fell silent. Workers from across the town took to the streets to protest against a cost of living crisis which had caused many to fall below the breadline. In late December 1912, the Weavers and Winders of Lurgan companies such as Johnston & Allen and The Ulster Weaving Company, balloted for strike action over better pay and conditions. In a case which echoes labour disputes of today, the Weavers’ and Winders’ from across the town took industrial action in January of 1913. Dr Barry Sheppard will deliver a talk on the 1913 Lurgan Weavers’ and Winders’ Strike this Tuesday, 9th May, at 7:30pm in the Jethro Centre, 6 Flush Place, as part of the Craigavon Historical Society’s programme of events.
