47
years ago

26 October 1977,

8,000 workers in the textile industry locked their bosses at the factory in the city of Campur, in India, for not paying their wages for several months. Acid and gas cylinders were placed on the roof, threatening to crack things. After besieging the workshop for 54 hours, they managed to comply with their requests.
