A short history of the unofficial strike at Courtauld's Red Scar Mill in Preston, 1965, the first of what would become a long list of significant 'migrant strikes' (such as Mansfield Hosiery in 1972, Standard Telephones and Cables in 1973, Imperial Typewriters in 1974 and, of course, Grunwick in 1976).

Essential workers, especially those of color, have suffered the greatest risk of death during the pandemic among all occupations, a new study of death records in California found.
Workers in the food and agricultural sector saw a 39% increase in their mortality rate since the pandemic began, according to an analysis by the University of California that looked at death certificate data for working-age adults in the last four years in California. But Hispanic and Black workers in the sector faced the most risk, with their mortality rates increasing 59% and 34%, respectively, while whites in the same jobs experienced a 16% increase in deaths.
