The General Strike
At Eccleston Square: Mr Ramsay MacDonald M.P. (left) and Mr Arthur Henderson, M.P.(centre) with Miss Bondfield and Miss Quaille, two members of the TUC General Council. 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
