• This essay first delineates some of the leading themes in the discourse about the jobber.

• In the old days the jobber was responsible for obtaining labour.

• However, this did not mean that the strikers had readily accepted the jobbers' authority to speak on their behalf.

• The leftist trade unions were vehemently critical of the jobber.

• During the 1920s, as trade unions struggled to form, jobbers often played a significant role in them.

• The jobbers toured the neighbourhoods and tried to gather the needed extra hands.

• The head jobbers now 'promptly attempted to engage fresh hands'.

• In any case, the relationship between the line jobber and the weavers, in particular, grew increasingly fractious.
