EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of solidarity and determination among the London volunteer bus-drivers and conductors during the historic 1926 General Strike. The image was taken at the Chiswick garage of the London General Omnibus Company (L.G.O.C.), where these essential workers made their temporary home as they refused to cross the picket lines and uphold their commitment to their striking colleagues. The General Strike, which took place from May 3rd to May 12th, 1926, was a pivotal moment in British labor history. Over nine million workers from various industries across the country walked out in protest against wage cuts and poor working conditions. The L.G.O.C. bus workers, who were not directly involved in the dispute, were asked by the Transport Workers' Federation to continue operating their services to ensure the public could still get to work and access essential services. However, these volunteers chose to stand in solidarity with their striking colleagues, leading to the iconic scene depicted in this photograph. The volunteers slept at the Chiswick garage, which became a makeshift campground, as they refused to abandon their fellow workers. The image shows a sense of camaraderie and unity, with the volunteers huddled together, resting on the ground, and leaning against their buses. Their resilience and unwavering commitment to their cause demonstrate the power of collective action and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs, even in the face of adversity. This photograph provides a poignant reminder of an important moment in labor history and the sacrifices made by these volunteers during the 1926 General Strike. Their actions continue to inspire and resonate with workers and labor movements around the world.
