Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
40 years ago, civil servants undertook a 21-week-long strike against the Tory government, over the issue of pay. John McInally, former PCS vice-president, looks at a struggle that defined civil service trade unionism for decades to come.
95 years ago today, the 1926 general strike began in Britain. But after nine inspiring days, the strike was betrayed by the trade union leaders, who were given a left cover by the Stalinists. Ben Gliniecki examines the lessons of these events.
