1842 Pottery Riots : ウィキペディア英語版 | 1842 Pottery Riots
Predominantly centred on Hanley and Burslem, in what is now Stoke-on-Trent, the 1842 Pottery Riots took place in the midst of the 1842 General Strike, and both are credited with helping to forge trade unionism and direct action as a powerful tool in British industrial relations.〔(Disorder and Unrest in Staffordshire ). Staffspasttrack.org.uk.〕 ==Cause== The riots took place against the back drop of the 1842 General Strike, started by colliers in and around the Potteries, and part of the popular working class Chartist movement. The spark that lit both the General Strike and Pottery Riots was the decision, in early June 1842, by W.H.Sparrow, a Longton coal mine owner, to disregard the law and fail to give the statutory fortnight's notice before imposing a hefty pay reduction of almost a shilling a day on his workers.〔(Pottery Riots 1842 ). Healeyhero.co.uk.〕 The men went on strike and soon surrounding colliery workers began showing support. The strike cause was championed by Chartist, who called for a General Strike across the Potteries.〔(Workers’ History ). Workersliberty.org (15 December 2005).〕 However, by the end of July strikes were endemic across north Staffordshire and were spreading, notably in south east Lancashire.〔(General Strike 1842 ).
