EDITORS COMMENTS
The print of the Trico March 1976 captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the strength and determination of the striking women workers at the Trico-Folberth windscreen wipers factory in Brentford. These brave women took to the streets demanding equal pay with their male colleagues, who stood in solidarity with them. After 21 weeks of tireless protest and advocacy, their demands for equal pay were finally met. This victory was not just a win for these courageous women but also a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality within the workforce. The image depicts a powerful scene of unity and resilience as both men and women come together to support this important cause. The trade union demonstration on June 24, 1976, serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice and fighting for what is right. This snapshot from history serves as an inspiration to all those who continue to strive for equality and fair treatment in the workplace. It is a testament to the power of collective action and solidarity in bringing about positive change.
