The General Strike - strikers in Plymouth
Strikers at Plymouth arriving at St. Andrews Church for a special daily service during the General Strike. In support of a strike by coal miners over the issue of threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called a General Strike in early May 1926. The strike only involved certain key industrial sectors (docks, electricity, gas, railways) but, in the face of well-organised government emergency measures and lack of real public support, it collapsed after nine days

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This powerful image captures the spirit of solidarity and determination among the strikers during the General Strike of 1926 in Plymouth, England. In early May of that year, in support of coal miners facing threatened wage cuts, the Trades Union Congress called for a General Strike, which involved key industrial sectors such as docks, electricity, gas, and railways. Here, we see strikers making their way to St. Andrews Church for a special daily service. The strike, while well-organized, faced strong government emergency measures and lacked real public support. Despite these challenges, the strikers remained resolute in their cause. The General Strike only lasted nine days before collapsing, marking a significant moment in the history of labor disputes in the UK. This photograph, taken on the 15th day of the strike, is a poignant reminder of the collective strength and resilience of the working class during times of adversity."
