Motion 88
General Strike 100
“That this Congress notes the 4 May 2026 marks 100 years since the 1926 General Strike. The General Strike marks one of the proudest moments in British working-class history, when workers across many sectors stood shoulder to shoulder with the miners. While it was unsuccessful in its aims, it provided valuable experience for thousands of trade unionists. Its study, and application of the learning, remains vital for trade unionists 100 years later.
“Congress calls on the General Council to
- support General Strike 100 and allow access to any appropriate STUC archives and encourage affiliation to General Strike 100; and
- host a political education class on the General Strike”
