On 15 March 2018 hundreds of civil servants in Andorra went on strike for the first time since 1933 in protest at proposals to reform public sector pay and conditions. In particular, the workers wanted to defend their 35 hour working week and level of pay.80% of teachers in the principality took part in the strike, and in total around 400 workers out of 3000 total civil servants participated, including customs officers, police and prison workers. Strikers took to the streets, protested outside parliament and occupied the main government administrative building.The strike lasted at least two days but it is not clear how it was resolved.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7764/andorra-civil-servants-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 14 March 1970, two sailors aboard the SS Columbia Eagle, carrying 10,000 tons of napalm for the US military in Vietnam, mutinied in protest at the war. Al Glatkowski and Clyde McKay had smuggled guns onto the ship which they used to hijack it and sail it to neutral Cambodia. But they never could have guessed what would happen next, as they became embroiled in a complex series of world events over which they would have no control. We spoke to Al for a podcast miniseries about the events, and this is how he recounted the start of the mutiny: "When we got the guns out to clean them, I got up and I told Clyde, 'I'll be right back. I'm going to go to the bathroom before we do this.' I looked in the mirror and I said to myself, 'You may not live through this. These may be your last few minutes.' "I will never ever be able to see or look my children in the face when they ask me, ''What did you do to stop the war, Dad?'' You will be able to say that you did your duty to stop it. You did your best to stop it.' I walked around, turned around, went out the door, got the gun and said, 'Let's move.'" Listen to Al tell his and Clyde's incredible story in our podcast episodes 21-24.

On 13 March 1920, in Germany, just hours after the far-right Kapp Putsch began and the Social Democratic government called for a general strike, workers in Sömmerda, Germany – many of whom were members of the anarchist Free Workers' Union of Germany (FAUD) – took control of their town. They formed an executive committee of 40 workers, disarmed the town guard, arrested the reactionary mayor, and formed a workers' militia. The putsch fell apart on March 17, the Social Democratic government asked for the end of the general strike on 20 March, and, after backdoor deals, the trade unions along with the Independent Social Democratic Party and Communist Party joined in calling the general strike officially over on March 22. The workers in Sömmerda wouldn't give up their control, so on March 24 a detachment of troops, containing many of those who had just attempted to overthrow the government a week earlier, was sent to take back the town. In the repression, around 23 workers ended up dead and 180 were imprisoned. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8496/s%C3%B6mmerda-communeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 12 March 1951, following a successful campaign against transport price rises, 300,000 workers took part in a general strike in Barcelona and nearby cities to protest against the right-wing dictatorship of general Francisco Franco. Despite the mobilisation of thousands of police and civil guards, the strikers held out for two weeks while the government, terrified of the prospect of further unrest, released the vast majority of those arrested and paid full wages to those workers who had been on strike. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8417/barcelona-general-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 11 March 1975, there was an attempted far right coup in Portugal, known as the March 11 Intentona. This happened in the context of the revolutionary period that Portugal which began with the fall of the right-wing dictatorship on 25 April 1974. After the resignation of president António Spínola in September 1974, a left-wing government took power headed by prime minister and Communist Party-sympathiser, Vasco Gonçalves. Seeking to reverse the growing radicalisation of the revolution, Spínola led an attempted military coup, which failed due to the massive popular support of the MFA (movement of the armed forces — a movement of soldiers and junior officers that overthrew the dictatorship) and forced him to flee to Francisco Franco's dictatorship in Spain. In the cars of the Spinolist officers, massive amounts of money and cheques were found, signed by Espirito Santo (bankers of BES) and António Champalimaud, the richest man in Portugal at the time, with a fortune of around 9 billion euro (in 2020 equivalent), half of the Portuguese GDP in 1974. This counterrevolutionary threat, financed by the Portuguese capitalist class and supported by the Spanish and Brazilian military dictatorships, further spurred the revolution. Workplace and land takeovers accelerated under the slogan "land to those who work on it" and compelled Vasco Gonçalves, in cooperation with unions and the workers, to order the nationalisation of almost 70% of the Portuguese economy, including the financial empires of the Espirito Santo and Champalimaud families, who fled to Brazil where they also possessed vast wealth. During the attempted coup one soldier died and 15 people were injured during the bombing of a military garrison near the Lisbon airport. Learn more about the Portuguese revolution in our podcast episodes 41-42.

On this day, 10 March 1920, the El Bordo mine fire occurred in Pachuca, Mexico, which killed dozens of miners. The fire broke out at 6 AM, and there was a brief evacuation period before the mine shafts were sealed shut. Officials of the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company claimed that after the evacuation fewer than 10 workers remained inside, all of whom were declared to be dead by company doctors. When the mine was finally reopened six days later, it was clear that the company had been lying. Inside were the charred bodies of 87 miners: many of whom had reached the exit of the mine, but were burned to death as they were unable to leave. Miraculously, seven miners had even managed to survive despite being trapped underground. As in almost all historical examples of corporations killing their workers, no bosses were prosecuted or punished.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8217/el-bordo-fireOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 9 March 2020, tens of thousands of women across Mexico went on strike in protest at gender-based violence which kills thousands of women each year in the country.Transport, banking, education and retail were amongst the industries affected by women either staying at home or taking to the streets, under the slogan "Un Día Sin Nosotras" ("A Day without Us").One worker, Isaura Miranda, a biologist, told the New York Times why she took part: “I just realised I had to do something… I can't carry on with this feeling of rage and impotence over so many deaths that are cruel, without dignity… Also, I don't want my daughter to go out one day and never come back again."Support for the action was so widespread that many large corporations and government departments were pressured into agreeing not to discipline women who took part in the action.Mexico's left-wing president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, blamed "past neoliberal policies" for endemic violence against women, 10 of whom are murdered each day, and accused right-wing opponents of helping organise the strike.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10925/mexico-women's-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 8 March 1922, seamen in Hong Kong and Canton (now Guangzhou) won pay rises of 15-30%, ending their strike which began in January. The British colonial government had declared the strike illegal, brought in the army and tried to use scabs from the Chinese mainland, and forced labour to break the strike. But the strike spread, was joined by rail workers, dockers, cooks and servants, and workers set up an armed militia to blockade food to the island by rail or sea. Eventually bosses were forced to cave in. They did not agree to a union shop, but they gave substantial pay rises, legalised the Seaman's Union, freed imprisoned strike leaders and back paid half pay to workers for the strike days. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10828/hong-kong-seamen's-strike-endsOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 6 March 1974, UK coal miners called off their four-week strike after accepting a 35% pay offer in a massive victory, which had already brought down the Conservative government.The Conservatives had introduced regulation to limit pay increases to 7%, at a time when inflation was between 9 and 10%, and miners' basic pay was unable to cover the cost of living without adding considerable overtime hours. In November miners launched an overtime ban, after which the government implemented a three day week, restricting the functioning of industry and introducing rolling power cuts, in order to conserve coal to be able to withstand a potential strike. The government offered a pay increase of 16.5%, but this was rejected by the miners. When the National Union of Mineworkers launched a ballot for strike action, the Conservatives called a general election under the slogan "Who governs the country?" Meaning was that the government, or the unions. After the strike began, the Conservatives then lost the election, and the pay board recommended a 29% pay increase. The new Labour government agreed to implement a deal equating to a 35% increase, and the strike ended. The Trades Union Congress promised the government that it would not support strikes by other workers to achieve similar pay increases, and that union leaders would use their influence to reduce workers' pay demands.Learn more about the dispute in our podcast episode 81: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e81-miners-strikes-1972-4/Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 5 March 1984, the great UK miners' strike began when miners at Cortonwood colliery walked out in response to the Conservative government's announcement of a pit closure plan. Some other pits were already on strike in other disputes, but the strikes against closures spread across Yorkshire, and four days later the National Union of Mineworkers called a national strike, which was joined by a majority of miners around the country.Women, many of them miners' wives, played a crucial role in supporting the strike, helping the workers to remain out for nearly a year.Prime minister Margaret Thatcher and her government were determined to break the power of workers' organisations and push through mass privatisation and free market reforms. They had learned from their previous defeats in miners' strikes in 1972 and 1974. They built up coal stocks, so they could withstand a long strike, and then deliberately provoked the strike by announcing the closure plan in spring when coal was in less demand than during the cold winter months. The defeat of the miners, who had been the most well-organised and most militant group of workers in Britain, marked a decisive turning point in the balance of power between workers and employers in the country. It eventually led to the much more atomised and individualised nature of the working class in Britain today.Learn more in our podcast series about the dispute. Episode 13 is about women in the strike, episodes 27-29 are about LGBT+ people during the strike, and episode 81 is about the miners' strikes in 1972 and 1974.

On this day, 4 March 1947 workers at the Biratnagar Jute Mill in Nepal went on strike demanding better pay and union recognition, among other things.The ruling Rana dynasty sent troops to the town, who arrested strike leaders and put an end to the strike. But the Nepali Congress then organised a nationwide civil disobedience movement demanding the release of the strikers and all political prisoners, as well as the establishment of civil rights.By May, the Prime Minister announced moves to begin enabling people outside the Rana family to enter the government. In August the remaining prisoners were eventually released after a request by Mohandas Gandhi.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7957/biratnagar-jute-mill-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 3 March 1921, a workers' uprising began in Labin, Croatia, by a multinational group of around 2,000 miners. The miners were a mixture of Croatians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Poles, Czechs, Italians, Germans and Slovenians. On March 1, Italian fascists attacked and badly beat Giovanni Pipano, a miners' union leader. When his colleagues found out they were furious, and called a meeting for March 3. They decided to occupy their mine, declaring: “Kova je naša” ("the mine is ours"). Peasants came to support them, and the rebels organised armed detachments of Red Guards to maintain order. On March 7, the workers declared a Republic, raised a red hammer and sickle flag, and made decisions through mass assemblies, with every nationality represented. They drew up a list of demands to present to their employer, Societa Arsia, including a demand of a pay increase. When bosses refused, on March 21 the workers restarted production under their own control. On April 8, around 1000 troops and police officers attacked the mine, and while the miners put up a spirited defence, with their lack of arms and training they were eventually forced to surrender. Two miners, Massimiliano Ortar and Adalbert Sykora, were killed and dozens arrested. 52 workers were later put on trial for charges including establishment of a soviet regime, possession of explosives and more. But because the miners refused to testify against one another, and because of their support from the local population, none were convicted.This uprising is commemorated by our March T-Shirt of the Month, made under workers' control by a cooperative, supporting grassroots unions in South Asia.

Mini podcast about this day in history, 2 March 2016, when Honduran Indigenous environmental activist Berta Cáceres was assassinated in her home. Of Lenca descent, she co-founded the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), and was a leading participant in defending Lenca land from illegal logging and US military bases. She was also an advocate for LGBT+ and women's rights, and believed that: “Mother Earth – militarized, fenced-in, poisoned, a place where basic rights are systematically violated – demands that we take action.” At the time of her murder, Cáceres was heavily in Indigenous protests against hydroelectric dams being constructed by energy company DESA alongside Chinese firm Sinohydro and the World Bank. Several members of COPINH were killed by the Honduran military and company security during protests, which eventually forced Sinohydro and the World Bank to withdraw from the project. Cáceres was eventually shot dead in her home. A Mexican environmentalist, Gustavo Castro Soto, was also shot twice but survived. Nine men were later arrested and charged for the murder. They included the executive president of DESA, who was also a former military intelligence officer, as well as three other current or retired military officers, two of whom had been trained by the US military at the notorious School of the Americas. Eight were subsequently convicted and jailed, including the DESA president.Learn more about Cáceres' life and murder in this book: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/who-killed-berta-caceres-nina-lakhaniOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

On this day, 1 March 1944, a series of coordinated general strikes took place across Nazi-occupied northern Italy. One estimate put the number of strikers at 1.2 million while an article in the New York Times claimed between three and six million.The strikes were superficially about economic issues with demands like a freeze on food prices, increases in wages and rations, and the payment of bonuses. But the strikes were also aimed at undermining the fascist state and was organised by participants in the anti-fascist resistance.Major factories in northern Italy, particularly in Milan and Turin, were shut down. There was also significant sabotage of rail and electricity infrastructure by partisan units to coincide with the walkouts while the country's main newspaper, Corriere della Sera, was unable to publish for three days due to the printers' strike.The repression of the strike was extremely harsh with many workers even being deported to concentration camps in Germany. But the strike was a major blow to Italy's Nazi-backed fascist regime and, by the following year, it had been brought down.Learn more about the Italian resistance to fascism in our podcast episodes 77-80: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-80-italian-resistance/ Our work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
