The Diary of Eva SmithAugust 31st, 1910
At the meeting last night me, Hazel, Daisy and Scarlet decided on the tactic of going on strike. We contacted a few other girls who work at Birling's and they helped spread the news of the strike and to make some banners.
Today, Scarlet and I marched straight to Mr Birling's office and told him straight, that unless he agreed to our demands (our other demand was to have two proper holidays a year) we wouldn't do any work. I could feel the heat radiating off him, he was so angry. Mr Birling faced us all and told us that he wouldn't even consider giving us a pay rise, and that if we didn't stop behaving in this intolerable way he'd have us thrown out and he would make sure no one else would employ us.
Well, we'll show him!
We started making up chants and talked to one another to pass the time. I mean, he can't sack all his workers or he would go out of business. He has to give in to us.
