The 1926 general strike in the United Kingdom lasted 10 days, from May 3, 1926 to
May 13, 1926. 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 800,000 locked-out coal miners. Some 1.7 million
workers went out, especially in transport and heavy industry. The government was ready
and enlisted middle class volunteers to maintain cover for the strikers. There was
little violence and the TUC gave up in defeat. In the long run, there was little impact
on trade-union activity or industrial relations.
