My favourite thing mentioned on our union training was that in 1822 James Straighter, a convict shepherd, was sentenced to 500 lashes and a month of solitary confinement and an additional 5 years of penal servitude for ‘inciting his Master’s servants to combine for the purpose of obliging him to raise the wages and increase their rations’. Go you, James Straighter!
