Unknown history of Wolverhampton Tinplate trade unionists

Graham Dodd branch secretary of Wolverhampton Craft branch of Community union and Wolverhampton Council Leader Roger Lawrence, on Fri 15 Feb 2019 were joined by Labour councillors, all the Wolverhampton MPs and delegates from Wolverhampton, Bilston and District Trades Union Council to rededicated and unveil the plaque in its new prominent position in the ground floor Canteen of the Civic Centre.

Five Wolverhampton Tinplate workers were transported in 1819, before the Tolpuddle Martyrs, for the crime of forming a trade union.

-their union branch later became a founder of our trades union council and still exists today, now as the Wolverhampton Craft of Community union; it is Wolverhampton, Bilston & District TUC’s oldest affiliated branch at 217 years continued existence.
