| - The Calton weavers' strike of 1787 was the earliest major industrial dispute in Scottish history, when troops fired on demonstrators, killing six. The Calton weavers became Scotland's first working-class martyrs.Ultimately the strike contributed to a workers movement which achieved fundamental changes in the relationship between workforce and employers.The Calton Weavers massacre of 1787 is commemorated in a panel by Scottish artist Ken Currie in the People's Palace, Glasgow, commissioned on the 200th anniversary of the event. Calton at the time of the strike was a handweaving community just outside Glasgow in Scotland. At the peak of Calton's prosperity, wages had risen to nearly £100 a year and weavers had risen to high places in society. However, mechanization and growth in the labor force had since then severely depressed wages. In the summer of 1787, the journeymen weavers of Calton marched in organized processions through the streets of Glasgow to protest a 25 percent wage cut and lockout.The dispute grew bitter, with the strikers cutting the webs from the looms of weavers who continued to work, and making bonfires in the street from the contents of warehouses. On 3 September the city magistrates, with a force of officers, went to the Calton but were driven back by the mob. A detachment of the 39th Regiment marched under the command of , and a pitched battle occurred at Parkhouse, in Duke Street. A volley of musket fire killed three of the weavers.Three other weavers were mortally wounded.Further disturbances later in the day were quickly suppressed by the troops. On the following day more looms were wrecked, but the riots quickly subsided. In 1788 James Granger was tried in Edinburgh as the ringleader of the strike. He was aged 38, married and had six children. He was found guilty of "forming illegal combinations" and was sentenced to be publicly whipped through the streets of the city at the hands of the Common Executioner, and then to banish himself from Scotland for seven years. James Granger later returned and took part in the 1811-1812 strike. He lived to the age of 75. (en)
- Caltongo ehungintzako greba Eskoziako historian gatazka industrial garrantzitsuenetakoa izan zen, 1787an, non tropek manifestarien aurka tirokatu eta sei hil zituzten. Eskoziako langile klaseko lehenengo martiriak bihurtu ziren. Sarraskiak egoteaz gain, grebak langile mugimendua lagundu zuen, lan-indarra eta langileen arteko aldaketa azpimarragarriak lortuz. 1787ko Caltoneko ehungintzako sarraskia oroitzeko artista eskoziarrak panel bat egin zuen 200. urteurrenean. Ehungintzan lan egiten zuen komunitatea zen Calton garai horretan, Glasgow-eko kanpoaldean, Eskozia. Caltongo garai onenean, soldatak urtean 100£ igo ziren, eta ehuleek gizartearen posizio altuenetan egotea lortu zuten. Hala ere, lanaren mekanizazioa eta lan-indarraren hazkundeak soldatak asko murriztu zituen. 1787ko udan, Caltongo ehule artisauek manifestazio bat egin zuten Glasgow-eko kaleetatik, soldaten %25eko murrizketaren aurka eta patronalaren itxieraren aurka protestatzeko. Langileek biltegietako materiala erabili zuten suak kalean egiteko. Irailaren 3an, hiriaren magistratuek, ofizialen indarrarekin, Caltonera joan ziren, baina grebalariek kanporatu zituzten. 39. erregimentuko destakamendu batek, Kellet koronel tenientearen agindupean grebalariengana joan zen, eta bat-bat Parkhouse-en, . Moskete batzuen tiroek hiru langile erail zituzten. Beste hiru langile zaurien eraginez hil egin ziren. Tropek hurrengo orduetan sortu ziren liskarrak erreprimitu egin zituzten. Hurrengo egunean langile gehiago parte hartu zuten greban, baina liskarren kopurua murriztu zen. (eu)
