We owe our name to the Lyonnais silk workers in France who rose up for minimum wages for the first time in the history of mankind. The Canut revolts (French: Révolte des canuts) is the collective name for the major revolts by Lyonnais silk workers (French: canuts) which occurred in 1831, 1834 and 1848. They were among the first well-defined worker uprisings of the period known as the Industrial Revolution.
