EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, a London taxi cab is under attack during the taxi cab drivers' strike that took place from 31 October to 9 November 1911. The industrial action was initiated when the British Motor Cab Company hired non-union members to drive their cabs, defying the London Taxi Drivers' Workers' Union. A large number of striking drivers gathered around the company's garage, determined to prevent the cabs from leaving. In the chaos that ensued, this particular cab was targeted, with the drivers attempting to damage it. The situation escalated into a scene of unrest, with a strong force of police on hand to protect the cabs and their drivers. Several arrests were made as tensions boiled over. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the dispute between the taxi drivers and the British Motor Cab Company. The workers, who were fighting for better working conditions and fair wages, were met with resistance from the company's decision to bring in non-union members. The strike was a significant event in the history of the taxi industry and labor relations in London. The photograph offers a glimpse into the intense and physical nature of industrial disputes during this period. It serves as a reminder of the determination and resolve of workers to stand up for their rights and the challenges they faced in doing so. The image also highlights the role of the police in maintaining order during periods of labor unrest. Overall, this photograph is an important historical document that sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of London's history. It provides a valuable insight into the working conditions and labor disputes of the early 20th century and the lengths that workers were willing to go to fight for their rights.
