Over 8 decades ago, Walter Greenwood produced a text that would go on to change his fortune, and force the then government to rethink some of their policies on job prospects and conditions. Hailing from a working class background, Greenwood, once leaving school found himself in a climate of uncertainty as he wrestled between acquiring low paid jobs and unemployment. During the latter, Grenwood’s Love on the Dole was born; a realistic commentary on the political climate from the perspective of working class citizens.
