RePosted • @nationalarchivestt Today we celebrate the life and legacy of a revolutionary labour leader and community activist, Elma Francois, whose role in the labour movement of the 1930s has been heavily downplayed in our history books. Francois dedicated her life’s work to fighting for the improved living and working conditions of working-class people in her birthplace of St. Vincent and later, in Trinidad. Throughout her life, she elevated the concerns of black working-class women, encouraging them to deepen their political involvement. Francois was a founding member of the National Unemployed Movement (NUM)—which later became the Negro Welfare Cultural and Social Association (NWCSA)—the Seamen and Waterfront Workers’ Trade Union (SWWTU) and the Federated Workers’ Trade Union (FWTU)—now the National Union of Government and Federated Workers (NUGFW). Following the Labour Riots of 1937, she was arrested and accused of sedition. In February 1938, she became the first woman to be charged with sedition in Trinidad and Tobago. The charges were later dropped. She is remembered fondly as a captivating public speaker, who always encouraged those around her to expand their political consciousness through reading and political organizing. .
