An original political poster, Hackney says No Return to Sweat Shops, published by Hackney Borough Council, c. 1984. The poster, which incorporates a nineteenth century political cartoon of ‘sweat shop’ labour, was produced by the Labour controlled council in protest against the Conservative government’s planned abolition of Wage Councils (a series of labour relations organisations which agreed terms and conditions for workers). This poster comes from the archive of the printer, G&B Arts. A higher resolution image is available for viewing on request.
