Industrial action: from 1926 General Strike to today
Isabel Berwick, Financial Times journalist on the future of work; Jane Holgate, Professor of Work and long-time trade union organiser; David Torrance, constitutional historian of the 1926 General Strike. They trace how the 1926 strike unfolded, government and media responses, union strategies and aftermath. Then they jump to modern labour: the gig economy, AI, remote work, legal fights and changing employer-employee power.
