Title: Letter about working conditions, 1912 [Go to resource]
Description: At the end of 1911 Huntley & Palmers was accused of paying low wages, providing poor working conditions and discharging workers who had joined the National Union of Gas Workers and General Workers (now the GMB). This led to an outcry in Reading and demonstrations against the company. Non-union members then demonstrated against what they called 'lying statements' being made about the company. This letter issued in January 1912 was a supportive response by the Board of Directors to the resolutions made at the meeting of loyal Huntley & Palmers workers.
