On this day, 9 February 1912, a group of women workers in Gundry’s net and rope factory in Bridport, Dorset, staged a wildcat strike over pay and conditions. They walked around the town singing suffragette songs, and collected money for a strike fund. They refused arbitration from the local MP, and returned to work the following week after a London trades union official came down to sign them up and settle the dispute.
