People's March for Jobs
The People's March for Jobs is the name for two different marches in protest against high unemployment in the United Kingdom. The first started on 1 May 1981 and the second started on 23 April 1983.
==1981==
The first march started in Liverpool at the Pier Head when 500 unemployed people marched 280 miles to London. This was preceded by an ecumenical service in Liverpool's parish church and a joint statement in support of the march by the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool, David Sheppard, the Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool, Derek Worlock, and leading members of the Methodists, the United Reformed Church, the Baptist Union and the Salvation Army.〔''The Times'' (30 April 1981), p. 6.〕
The march drew comparisons with the Jarrow March of 1936. The march cost £70,000, with 500 marchers being estimated as the most that the organisers could afford to adequately clothe and feed.〔 The co-ordinators of the march were Jack Dromey, Colin Barnett and Pete Carter, all of the Trades Union Congress.〔''The Times'' (5 May 1981), p. 13.〕
The march ended on 1 June with a rally outside the Greater London Council, a lobby to Parliament and a party in the evening before the 500 unemployed dispersed. The marchers handed the government a petition with 250,000 signatures calling on the government to change its policies to ensure full employment. Paul Routledge, Christopher Warman and Richard Evans in ''The Times'' claimed that the labour movement regarded the march as its biggest propaganda success since Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister.〔''The Times'' (2 June 1981), p. 2.〕
