That the Parliament acknowledges that 3 May 2026 marked the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the nine-day General Strike across the UK; recognises that more than two million workers participated in what was the first ever general strike across the UK; understands that the strike began when the Trade Union Congress (TUC) mobilised workers in several sectors of the economy to take strike action in support of over one million miners, who were opposing poor working conditions and lessening of pay; notes that workers across Scotland participated in the UK-wide general strike from industries including the railways, docks, printing, ironworks and steelworks; condemns tactics that were used to suppress the strike, including the deployment of police, military personnel and the use of strikebreaking volunteers; believes that the strike represents the most significant display of trade union power in the UK to date; commends the TUC, trade unions and the wider labour movement for the work that has been taking place across Scotland and the UK to mark the anniversary; believes that the anniversary highlights the need for strong trade unions and employment rights in Scotland and across the UK, and further believes that both the ability to join free and independent trade unions and to withdraw labour are fundamental human rights.
