Lima-Callao Strike (1911)

The Lima-Callao Strike was a large-scale strike organized by anarcho-syndicalists in the city of Lima, Peru in March of 1911.

Five hundred workers at the U.S.-owned Vitarte Cotton Mill demanded a wage increase, a reduction of the work day from 13 to 10 hours, and the abolition of the night shift. The strike would endure for 29 days and eventually erupted into a general strike on April 10, bringing Lima’s business and transport to a standstill.https://libcom.org/library/anarcho-syndicalism-peru-1905-1930-steven-hirsch
