General Strike 1926: 100 Year Anniversary

Unite the Union mark the centenary of the 1926 General Strike and Miners' Lockout with this volume, General Strike 1926: 100 Year Anniversary.

In 2026 Britain's workers downed tools in solidarity with miners facing pay cuts, but the strike's leaders capitulated after nine days, leaving the miners to fight on alone for another six months. While part of working class folklore, the essays in this booknshow show that the reality is more complex. This is not just nostalgia. This is learning from our past to inform the struggles of today and tomorrow.

All funds raised from the sale of this book goes directly into strike funds supporting industrial action in 2026.
