January 19, 2014 - 21:17Hello Folks
My name is John Crossan. I'm a researcher at the University of Glasgow. I'm looking for potential contributors to a one-day workshop myself and some colleagues are running on the 15/03/2014.
The workshop relates to a research project involving the University, Glasgow Museums and the GMB and Unite unions. The project is centred upon a collection of political banners held in storage by Glasgow Museums. The collection includes, as you might have guessed, a number of union banners stretching back to the mid 19th Century. In addition the collection holds various banners from the Scottish Peace movement, and the Cooperative movement.
It is the wish of the various parties involved in this project to get the collection out of storage and into the public sphere. As well as being aesthetically interesting objects in there own right these banners tell a story of community and workplace organizing and resistance that should not be forgotten. To my mind, these stories are particularly relevant to a contemporary society faced with stagnated wages, negligible workplace protection, the continued privatization of public spaces and services and mismanagement of natural resources.
We are at the early stages of the research project. The workshop aims to be an informal gathering of people with some form of connection to particular banners. The workshop we hope, will be the start of a longer public discussion about how we might use the banners to tell the story of organization and resistance in Glasgow and the surrounding area.
Due to space restrictions we are only able to display 4 banners at the aforementioned workshop. These are: the Yarrow Upper Clyde Shipbuilders dispute; the Morrison's Furniture dispute; the Caterpillar Uddingston Plant dispute; and the Cooperative Women's Guild (Gorbals and Laurieston Branch).
If anyone had any personal relationship to these disputes/organizations or knows of someone with a personal connection and wishes to be involved in this exciting project please contact me (details below). You may be the son, father, daughter, mother of someone related to the disputes/organisations and have a story to tell. Or you may have been on the picket line holding the banner and recall a particular event in the dispute. The point here is that we are looking for personal stories.
Thanks for reading
Yours Sincerely
John Crossan
University of Glasgow
