"Sweated Industries, 1897" [T0509.jpg], 1897
These notes are from an investigation into low wages and long hours in the artificial flower-making trade in London. Many of those interviewed were home workers. The investigation was undertaken by the Christian Social Union (CSU) for a report to Her Majesty's Inspector of Factories and Workshops.
The CSU was founded by Henry Scott Holland in 1889 to provide a forum for discussion of religion and social reform. Gertrude Tuckwell, already secretary of the Women's Trade Union League at this time, came from a family with a Christian Socialist Tradition and she became secretary of the CSU in 1898. |
