In 1810, Worcester tailors struck for a rise in wages, and 'An Impartial Observer' issued a handbill protesting against 'this daring combination' saying that men could earn £1 per week besides the enjoyment of 'Saint Monday', but they were now greedy enough to require the same wages together with the opportunity of worshipping 'Two Saints a Week'. 'Saint Monday' also applied to the Glovers, even to modern times, it being looked upon as an 'off day'.
