Tarian y Gweithiwr (The Worker's Shield) was a weekly Welsh-language newspaper published in Aberdare between 1875 and 1934, initially by the firm of Mills, Lynch, and Davies. The paper achieved a peak circulation of around 15,000 copies a week. [1] [2]

A supporter of radical principles, Tarian y Gweithiwr emphasised workers' rights in its coverage of political news as well as in opinion pieces, making it popular with the miners and other industrial workers of South Wales. [1]
