On this day, 26 October 1977, 8000 workers at the Swadeshi Cotton Mills in Kanpur, India, surrounded their factory, locking the bosses inside after their wages had not been paid in several weeks. The unions did not help so workers beat up the union leaders, they then placed gas cylinders and acid bottles on the roof of the factory and threatened to start blowing things up. After 54 hours of siege, the workers’ back wages were paid.
