“You worked in threes. two gutted and one packed. Every girl that gutted had a gut tub…she flung her guts into it.” Annie Watt, Herring Worker
Up to 10,000 Herring Workers/ Fesh Quines /Herring Lassies/ Gutters travelled the Herring ports of the east coast, from the Shetlands and the Highlands all the way to East Anglia, gutting 60 fish a minute. These self organised women crews Struck on issues of pay and conditions – and won.
What can we learn from these legendary workers?
This Live Radio Play uses the testimony of fish workers past and present to delve into world fish work now and the future.
