8 September 1941: Norwegian milk strike - On This Day in Working Class History

On this day, 8 September 1941 the Norwegian Melkestreiken (milk strike) took place against the occupying Nazi authorities. Workers arriving for work on Monday found that their already-reduced milk ration had been cut completely. Workers at a shipyard and a steelworks spontaneously walked out after breakfast, and over the next two days the stoppage spread to around 50 workplaces and 20-25,000 workers. The Nazis responded by declaring martial law, executing Workers' National Trade Union (AFL) chairman Rolf Wickstrøm and AFL lawyer Viggo Hansteen, and jailing several others. More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10862/norwegian-milk-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
