Workers in a steel factory protest. France, 1936

David Seymour was one of the great pioneers of small camera photo-reportage; he applied a skilled hand and a perceptive eye to photographing many poignant and dramatic events of the 20th century. Pictured here, a national strike for the 40-hour week, paid holidays, and collective agreements. Workers organise a sit-in at their steel factory in June 1936.
