A general strike is a strike action in which a substantial proportion of the total labour force in a city, region, or country participates. General strikes are characterized by the participation of workers in a multitude of workplaces, and tend to involve entire communities.
The General Strike ended a 16-year period of intense militancy on the part of the British working class. This began with the Great Unrest of 1910-14 and continued through the engineering struggles during the First World War and in the mass strikes of 1919.
