After the Black Death swept through Europe in the mid-fourteenth century, a profound demographic shift occurred that fundamentally altered the continent's economic structure. With up to half the population dead, the scarcity of laborers gave surviving workers unprecedented bargaining power, leading to the first organized efforts to secure better wages and working conditions. This episode explores how the Statute of Labourers was enacted by panicked elites to freeze wages at pre-plague levels, sparking widespread resistance and early forms of collective action among peasants and artisans. We look at specific figures like John Ball and events such as the Peasants' Revolt, examining how the struggle for economic dignity during this crisis laid the groundwork for modern labor rights and unionization. #BlackDeath #1348Pandemic #StatuteOfLabourers #PeasantsRevolt #JohnBall #WageFreezes #MedievalEconomy #LaborUnions #EdwardIII #EnglishPeasantry #SerfdomEnds #SocialMobility #HistoricalInequality #CollectiveAction #MedievalHistory #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #Europe Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
