LI: Understanding How Hard it was to Earn Incomes from Shearing Sheep
This week for Reading , we needed to create a DLO explainging the 1891 Shearers Strike, But If you don’t know what is the backstory behind it, let me explain : The 1891 Shearers Strike: Standing Up for Workers’ Rights
What was the 1891 Shearers Strike?
The 1891 Shearers Strike was a significant event in Australia’s history when sheep shearers across New South Wales decided to take a stand for their rights. They wanted better pay and working conditions, and when their demands weren’t met, they chose to go on strike. This meant they stopped working in the shearing sheds, refusing to shear any more sheep until their requests were taken seriously.
