Abstract

This article chronicles the industrial crisis that took place in Derry in the summer of 1924, when the city was engulfed by mass strikes and a lockout in its staple industry, shirt making. The article begins by putting Derry in its socio-economic and political context, illustrating how sectarian and gender divisions determined the local employment structure. It demonstrates how the Irish revolution, the partition of Ireland, labour militancy and unionist gerrymandering of Derry Corporation laid the foundations for the intense episode of class conflict that took place in the city in the summer of 1924. It describes how the crisis emerged and how, for a six-week period, it made Derry the most strike-ridden city for its size and population in either Britain or Ireland, with tragic social consequences for its inhabitants. There is a strong emphasis on detailing the strike of the corporation employees because their wage demand became embroiled in the political conflict between nationalists and unionists for control of the city. The article concludes by analysing the lockout’s immediate outcome and long-term ramifications and scrutinizes what role sectarianism played in the labour movement in Northern Ireland before, during, and after the crisis.
“雇主联合会的工具”:1924年德里大罢工
这篇文章记录了1924年夏天发生在德里的工业危机,当时该市被大规模罢工和主要工业衬衫制造的停工所吞没。文章首先将德里置于其社会经济和政治背景下,说明宗派和性别分歧如何决定当地的就业结构。它展示了爱尔兰革命、爱尔兰分裂、劳工斗争和工会主义者对德里公司的不公正划分,是如何为1924年夏天发生在这座城市的激烈阶级冲突奠定基础的。它描述了危机是如何出现的,以及在长达六周的时间里,它如何使德里成为英国或爱尔兰规模和人口最多的罢工城市,并给其居民带来了悲惨的社会后果。由于企业员工的工资要求卷入了民族主义者和工会主义者之间争夺城市控制权的政治冲突,因此对企业员工的罢工进行了详细的描述。文章最后分析了停工的直接结果和长期影响,并仔细研究了宗派主义在危机之前、期间和之后在北爱尔兰劳工运动中所起的作用。
