The next annual Midlands TUC Chainmakers Festival, is
Cradley Heath High Street on Saturday 6th July 2019, the largest celebration in Britain of women's political history.
Tired of working day and night for starvation wages, the Women Chainmakers of Cradley Heath in the Black Country in 1910, downed their hammers and stood up for their right to earn a living wage.
Led by the founder of the National Federation of Women Workers, Mary Macarthur, their ten week strike successfully established the right to a minimum wage.
