• Protection from workplace discrimination
• 8 hour working days
• Redundancy pay
• A minimum wage
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Workplace pensions

Great thread about an important strike, which we also talk about during the episode about May Day produced by Upstream which is being released for both of our patreon supporters a little later today.
