MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 11, 1811: Luddites attacked looms near Nottingham, England, because automation was threatening their jobs. At the time, workers were suffering from high unemployment, declining wages, an “endless” war with France and food scarcity. On March 11, they smashed machines in Nottingham and demonstrated for job security and higher wages. The protests and property destruction spread across a 70-mile area of England, reaching Manchester. The government sent troops to protect the factories and made machine-breaking punishable by death.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/luddites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>luddites</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>automation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unemployment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/england" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>england</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wages</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vandalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vandalism</span></a></p>
