EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Hairdressers Strike of 1919, towards the end of the First World War. The image shows a motorcycle and sidecar parked outside the headquarters of the Assistants, a hairdressers' union, with a picket line visible in the background. The period following the war was marked by a wave of labor unrest, as workers across various industries demanded better wages, shorter hours, and improved working conditions in the aftermath of the devastating conflict. The hairdressing and barbering industries were no exception. In the UK, the National Union of Hairdressers and Beauticians called for a strike in March 1919, which lasted for several weeks. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life during this time, as the motorcycle and sidecar are seen providing essential services, bypassing the picket line. The rider, likely a member of the police force or a sympathetic individual, braves the tense situation to ensure the delivery of necessary supplies or services. This historical photograph is a poignant reminder of the labor struggles that shaped the post-war era, as workers fought for their rights and demanded fair compensation for their labor. The Hairdressers Strike of 1919 was just one of many industrial actions that occurred during this time, as the world adjusted to the profound changes brought about by the First World War.
