Conflict of the selfactinas
Dispute in the Spanish textile industry (1854)
The Conflict of the Selfactinas refers to Luddite actions that occurred in Barcelona during the month of July 1854 against the mechanisation of spinning with the self-acting or fully automatic mule held responsible for rising unemployment. The Conflict represents the first attempt in Spain to regulate child labor and to improve the conditions of workers and led directly to the first general strike in Spain.
