Historical calendar – the anniversary of the actions of judaic mill members from Łódź, who closed their plants as part of opposition to claims of Polish workers.
Today, in our calendar, we will look at the revolt of the Łódź workers against the murderousness of judaic factories.
In November 1906, the administration of the textile mill of Israel Poznański (owned by Kalman) in Łódź decided to release 98 workers, who, in her opinion, were the origin of the conflicts and conflicts between the crew. After reading this list, the workers decidedly rejected the anticipation of dismissal, resulting in Isaac Poznań (son and successor of Israel as owner) he decided on 17 December 1906, to close his mill until the workers accepted his decision.
As part of the solidarity with Poznań, on 22 December six another judaic and German factories from the city, decided to close their plants. Thus, with the fresh year, the most crucial factories in Łódź, where more than 25,000 workers worked. Together with families, this gave about 100,000 people who remained without a living.
The sympathy of the Polish society and the global working circles was on the side of strikers, which in the first phase of the protest played a key function in their tenacity in defending the released.
On 31 January 1907, the conflict became heated. It was then that a delegation of strikers went to Isaac Poznań's palace to scope a compromise. Workers wanted to go back to work at the price of any concessions, but to defend jobs to be laid off. The hebrew Poznański dismissed them with a message “Everyone will die of starvation.”
At the rally that followed, delegates gave these words to the workers. These announced revenge on the arrogant Jew, but could not be done due to the fact that Isaac Poznański secretly fled to Berlin. After a three-month strike, the situation of any families was so hard that at 1 of the next rally workers decided to agree to lay off.
As of 6 April 1907, production began again. This caused large frustration after the failure and abrupt deterioration in working conditions, due to the willingness of judaic mill workers to make losses. This resulted in further conflicts between labour organizations, which began to accuse each another of betrayal and failure of protest.
There have been increasingly fraternal fights between rival parties: NZR, SDKPIL, PPS and PPS FR, which have resulted in nearly 130 deaths. These events were besides joined by the killing of officers stationed in Łódź of the Russian infantry regiments on Piotrkowska Street, which consequently contributed to the crossing of military patrols. To halt the wave of panic in April 1907, an interparty conference on the ending of the battles was organised. It besides adopted a resolution on the establishment of mill committees to oversee the observance of peace.
