Notes
When the War ended, industrial unrest broke out in Glasgow, London and many other cities throughout the country, as unions fought to establish a forty-hour week and other benefits for workers. The effectiveness of this print as a political image is created by the towering black shape of the dockyard warehouse, which, more than the gesticulating figure on the platfrom or the milling crowd, symbolizes the power of the workers and their threat to the status quo. (IWM, p.135)
