What happened on Wednesday June 02, 1926?

Here's what happened on June 02, 1926:

• British General Strike of 1926 The General Strike of 1926 was a pivotal moment in British labor history, where the Trades Union Congress (TUC) called for a nationwide strike in response to coal miners' wage cuts and poor working conditions. Beginning on May 4, 1926, approximately 1.5 to 1.7 million workers across various industries, including transportation, printing, and utilities, ceased work to support the miners. By June 2, the strike was in its fourth week, causing significant disruptions to public transportation, industrial production, and daily life across the United Kingdom. The government, led by Conservative Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, responded by mobilizing volunteer workers and declaring the strike illegal. Ultimately, the strike ended on May 12, with the TUC calling off the action, marking a significant defeat for the labor movement and weakening trade union power for years to come.
