The workplaces of 1926 looked very different to now, but the words of miners’ leader A. J. Cook ring just as true today as when they were said a hundred years ago:
“Not a penny off the pay, not a minute on the day!”
Unite the union is working with Durham Miners Association and the National Union of Mineworkers to mark the centenary of the 1926 General Strike and Miners’ Lockout.
We are hosting a national commemoration in Barnsley on Saturday 2nd May, bringing together trade unionists, historians, musicians, artists and authors to make this a celebration of working-class pride.
