Printed Ephemera — 1978
Handbill, flyer
This flyer was issued in support of the Garners Steak Houses strikers. The poster announces a 'Day of Solidarity' and protest march from Trafalgar Square to Speakers Corner in Hyde Park.
The four-month strike by employees of the restaurant chain hinged on the workers' demand for trade union recognition. This flyer gives details of the march and outlines the workers' demands.
Garners employed mostly immigrant workers on low wages, and working conditions were poor. The workers' struggle to join the Transport and General Workers' Union attracted considerable support from a range of socialist groups.
