Centenary Anniversary of the Women's Chainmaker Festival
The museum's major labour history event recalls the fight of the Cradley Heath
Women Chainmakers, who in 1910 went on strike for ten weeks and were successful in winning the first ever minimum wage. The
TUC organised event, hosted by the Black Country Museum, will celebrate the importance of Trade Union History and women at
work. The day will feature a parade, entertainment, music and theatre from local performers along with stirring speeches and
a famous union supporting group will ensure the legacy of the Cradley Heath Women Chainmakers lives on.
To make
this event a success we are requesting your presence which is due to take place on Saturday 18th September,
for more information please contact the Regional Office on 0121 550 4888.
