Great play, thanks, BUT...... The background picture is a street called Hillfield Park in Muswell Hill, a very upscale residential suburb in North London. I spotted it because I grew up there. No Dark Satanic Mills within a hundred miles, I can assure you!

I wonder how long they had to work to make up for the loss in pay. 5p a day extra ha ha. I come from a working class family. My father and brothers worked in the mill as the unions began rising to power and I have seen first hand the results

In the early 70s, my father was a dustcart driver and my mother was a postwoman thanks to strong trade unions both of them actually worked very few hours a day and were in the pub by 12. Halcyon days cheap cigarettes and beer and the workers were the ones really in charge.

The reason had nothing to do with pay. It was the thriving of foreign competion as Britain rebuilt after the war coupled with the advent of synthetic yarns. The British governments would not support retooling so British mills could compete in the synthetic trade , in spite of ICI being British. Government support for industry it was against their free market ideals. One year the Japanese in a trade war bought all the Australian wool thus destroying the wool trade for Britain. In 1952 immigrant labour was brought in to force prices down. Strange how no one is complaining that the mill owners extremely rich. And today the rich are super rich. And thanks for the spoiler.

(I didn't Google that, I've remembered that date, was just starting my last year at school)🥴 Agree with you that it sounds dated as if more 50/60's.

Maybe that is why most Americans get 2 weeks paid holiday a year while in the UK and most of Europe it is at least 4 weeks and many of us get more than 6 weeks paid holidays. Also you have federal minimum wage of $7.25. Which is shameful. However I believe the unions in the USA may be run differently to the UK
