NEXT YEAR will be 2026 — another big anniversary for the wider trade union and labour movement in Britain.
It is 100 years since our last general strike — a general strike etched into the collective memory of trade unionists across the country. It is a strong tradition of the movement to celebrate, understand, explore and learn from our history.
That is why the General Federation of Trade Unions (GFTU), hot off the heels of celebrating our own 125th anniversary, has been working behind the scenes with 11 museums, libraries and archives to co-ordinate our general strike celebrations.
