Description

The maritime and shearers’ strikes of 1890 and 1891 were the largest, most violent industrial actions seen in Australia, but with the government and police supporting employers both strikes failed to fulfil the unions’ objectives.

The essays in this book examine aspects of the Maritime strike, exploring contemporary effects and long range consequences, many for the first time.
