# Nine Hours Strike

The Nine Hours Strike was an 1871 labour dispute in the engineering trade, in Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain. Its name refers to the engineers' demand that a normal working day should consist of no more than nine hours, following in the footsteps of the Factories Act 1847 that placed a limit of 10 working hours a day for women and children.

## Strike

The strike began in August 1871 when the engineers in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, and adjoining areas of Tyneside, formally requested that their "masters" (employers) place limits on working hours. Though the strike was spearheaded by members of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE), "no more than 10 per cent" of engineers involved in the strike were unionized. Rather than relying on union strength, a temporary "Nine Hours League" was formed, led by John Burnett, a member of the ASE District Committee.
Despite a similar strike a few months beforehand in Sunderland resolving in only four weeks, the Nine Hours Strike continued for five months, totaling over 8,000 strike participants over its course. Though the strike participants were largely uneducated, those who had learned to read and write—such as John Brown, grandfather to anarcho-syndicalist engineer Tom Brown—contacted local newspapers and began publications of their own, which circulated widely across Great Britain.
Until the early 1900s, strikes in Great Britain garnered very little public favor, making the nationwide support for the Nine Hours Strike something of an anomaly. Nearly three months into the strike, the movement was gaining traction, with financial and material support from across the Great Britain pouring in as the British engineering companies sought to stem the flow of support. Matthew Dryden, a Tyneside songwriter, wrote the "Perseveer" or "The Nine Oors Movement" (written in the Geordie dialect and sung to the tune of "Nelly Ray"), staging concerts to raise funds for the strikers.
Faced with growing national support for the strike, company executives (led by Sir W.G. Armstrong, proprietor of Armstrong Whitworth) had organized to call in strikebreakers from the edges of the British Isles, Belgium, and Germany to continue operations. These efforts were quickly headed off by a representative from the International Workingmen's Association, who persuaded the strikebreakers to return home.

## Outcome

At the conclusion of the strike, the engineering firms agreed to a shorter 54-hour work week consisting of six nine-hour days. This agreement was later adjusted to five nine-and-a-half hour days and a shorter six-and-a-half hour day on Saturday, then again adjusted to end Saturdays at five-and-a-half hours.
In the years that followed, similar strikes rippled across Great Britain, spreading from engineers to other disciplines, such as shipbuilding. John Burnett, former head of the Nine Hours League, went on to become General Secretary of the ASE.

It made its world premiere at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut, with its first run from 26 March to 23 April 2014.

# Ararat Mirzoyan

Ararat Samveli Mirzoyan (Armenian: Արարատ Սամվելի Միրզոյան; born 23 November 1979) is an Armenian politician currently serving as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia. Before this, he served as President of the National Assembly of Armenia from January 2019 to August 2021.
As a founding member of the Civil Contract Party, he ran under the Way Out Alliance during the 2017 parliamentary election and was elected to represent the third electoral district, consisting of the Malatia-Sebastia and Shengavit neighbourhoods of Yerevan.

## Professional career

Prior to running as a political candidate, Mirzoyan worked at a number of employers in Armenia, including the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute, HSBC Bank Armenia, REGNUM News Agency, and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems.
In early 2021, a handwritten letter was made public by Mikayel Minasyan, son-in-law of former president Serzh Sargsyan, wherein Mirzoyan agrees to be an agent for Armenia's National Security Service (NSS). Minasyan claimed that the agreement was made under pressure after it was discovered Mirzoyan was spying for Turkey. Both Mirzoyan and the NSS initially denied the authenticity of the letter; however, Mirzoyan eventually admitted the letter's authenticity, while denying that he was ever a spy for Turkey.

## Political career

A strong opponent of Serzh Sargsyan, Mirzoyan was instrumental in the 2018 Armenian Velvet Revolution against Sargsyan's transition from President to Prime Minister. Notably, on 11 April 2018, he lit smoke flares during a speech in the National Assembly to call attention to the planned protests, which eventually did result in Sargsyan's resignation.
In May 2018, after Nikol Pashinyan replaced Sargsyan as Prime Minister, Mirzoyan was appointed as First Deputy Prime Minister under the new administration, meaning he had to give up his seat in parliament. In January 2019 Mirzoyan was elected President of the National Assembly of Armenia, a position he held until August 2021. On 19 August 2021, he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs.

## Personal life

He is married and has two children. He holds a Certificate of Merit from the Ministry of Education of Armenia (awarded in 2016).

### 2020 beating

On the morning of 10 November 2020, protesters seized the parliament building and pulled Mirzoyan from a car, demanding to know the whereabouts of Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who announced a peace treaty with Azerbaijan just hours earlier to end the Nagorno-Karabakh War. In the presence of his child, Mirzoyan was beaten by a mob and was later taken to hospital, where he underwent surgery and was said to be in a good condition.

# L.A. Express

The L.A. Express was an American jazz fusion ensemble. Members of L.A. Express played on several Joni Mitchell albums, namely Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and the live album Miles of Aisles between 1974 and 1975.
The band also had two jazz instrumental albums on their own - L.A. Express (1976), and Shadow Play (1976). The latter featured backing vocals and cover art by Mitchell. Both albums were recorded at James Guercio's Caribou Ranch studio and were the first albums released on the Caribou label.
The L.A. Express formed in 1973 as the backing band for jazz saxophonist Tom Scott.
The original lineup included bassist Max Bennett, drummer John Guerin, guitarist Larry Carlton, and keyboardist Joe Sample (the latter two were also members of the group The Crusaders). They recorded the album Tom Scott and The L.A. Express, as well as a number of tracks on Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark album in 1974 with this lineup, before both Carlton and Sample left the group. Robben Ford replaced Carlton as guitarist and Larry Nash took over as the group's keyboardist.
After attending a Joni Mitchell concert in London in April 1974 and being impressed by the sound of her backing band, George Harrison invited the group to his home at Friar Park, where they recorded the basic tracks for "Hari's on Tour (Express)" and "Simply Shady", which were released in December of that year as the first and second tracks, respectively, on Harrison's Dark Horse album.
The group also performed the score to the 1974 adult animated comedy film The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat.
With Ford and Nash on board, Tom Scott and the L.A. Express recorded the Tom Cat album in late 1974 (released on Ode Records in early 1975). In Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Robert Christgau dismissed it as "background music without the foreground. It doesn't swing, it doesn't rock—it hops." After the release of Tom Cat, Scott left the group and began recording solo.
The group recorded their first album without Scott in 1976 - the self-titled L.A. Express, which had as cover art a close-up of a belt buckle embossed with the band's name (simply "L.A. Express"), similar to one reading "Tom Scott & the L.A. Express" which was worn by a model on the cover of their first album with Scott. Later in the same year they recorded Shadow Play, which included several popular jazz tracks played on jazz radio well into the early 1980s.
On the first of these two albums keyboardist Larry Nash was replaced by Victor Feldman, and David Luell played saxophone and woodwinds. Robben Ford left the group prior to the recording of Shadow Play and was replaced by guitarist Peter Maunu.
