The Jenny Spinner Riots
Rioting has broken out in several towns with the assailants targeting workshops housing a Spinners' Guild, destroying or damaging machinery such as the stocking frame, which they fear will result in unemployment and lower wages.

22617historical_info = flavor_eng.222.historical_info The Jenny Spinner Riots or Luddite Riots were a series of protests by skilled workers in the textile industry, who were concerned that the new machinery would result in unemployment and lower wages for traditional hand workers. They engaged in acts of violence and sabotage, breaking into factories to destroy the new machinery. The riots were relatively unorganized and were violently suppressed by the British Government, but subsequent riots would follow as more work was automatized.
