Suitable for Key Stage 3, use our knowledge organisers containing key facts and information to explore the Match Girls’ Strike, 1888 and the Grunwick strike, 1976-1978.
Make connections and draw contrasts between the development of trade union activity and ‘unskilled’ workers’ rights in the 19th and 20th century.
The supporting activities use creative writing, debate, art, and drama to understand why these events happened, develop empathy with the people involved, and encourage thinking about the situation of workers today.
