Summary:

Archival caption: Sit In by employees of Kirkby Commonwealth Curtain Factory, Kirkby, Monday 5th October 1981. The curtain factory has closed after 21 years, trouble began when the company announced 55 redundancies, but the deadline passed and no one came forward, so the company just closed down, putting 131 people out of work. The sit-in is part of action in an attempt to save 80 jobs.
