The Carmaux strike — The Carmaux miners’ strike after the dismissal of their mayor, 1892
Jean-Baptiste Calvignac, a mine worker and trade unionist, elected mayor of Carmaux, was dismissed by the company for the absences his office required; the miners went on strike, invaded the director’s house, and several were convicted. Jaurès, then without a seat, supported the strike in La Dépêche; Clemenceau, Pelletan and Millerand brought it before the Chamber. The arbitration of the Prime Minister Loubet at first went the company’s way; the strike ended only after the resignation of the deputy and the director. Jaurès was elected deputy for Carmaux in January 1893. (Editorial synthesis)
The Carmaux strike ended in the resignation of Solages, member of parliament for Carmaux. (source: Ministère des Armées)
