On this day, 11 September 1928, the Port Adelaide strike began in Australia when waterfront workers refused to attend work in protest at new, inferior terms of employment. The strike spread to other ports, despite the union leadership calling off the action. The employers tried to draft an army of volunteer scabs, who were attacked by striking workers, their wives and supporters. While the strike largely ended by mid-October and scab workers abandoned, intermittent strikes and riots continued for the next three years. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1207879989397149/?type=3
