May 1926 General Strike. The strike began on 4th May 1926
May 1926 General Strike.
The strike began on 4th May 1926 and was caused by the breakdown in negotiations in the coal industry dispute.
It was called by the general council of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in an unsuccessful attempt to force the British government to act to prevent wage reduction and worsening conditions for 1.2 million locked-out coal miners
It was to last 9 days, from 4 May 1926 to 13 May 1926. With large numbers of road transport, bus, rail, docks, printing, gas and electricity, building, iron, steel, chemicals and coal workers staying off work. The government was prepared and enlisted volunteers to maintain essential services with the help of the armed services. There was little violence and the TUC gave up in defeat.
