On this day, 9 January 1973, Durban, South Africa, workers at the Coronation Brick and Tile factory came out on strike. By the end of March close to 100,000 mainly Black African workers, and approximately half the entire Black African workforce in Durban, had come out on strike. By the end of February the brickworkers had won a doubling of their wages, and the strike represented a turning point in South African struggles to build multiracial, integrated trade unions. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1626043217580822/?type=3
