Today in Labor History May 4, 1926: Workers started a General Strike in the U.K. Unions called the strike to force the government to prevent wage reductions for 1.2 million locked-out coal miners. The strike lasted until May 12. Over 1.7 million workers participated. However, the TUC (Trades Union Congress) limited participation to just a few unions because they feared the revolutionary potential of a full blown General Strike. In their newspaper, they wrote: “The General Strike. . . is the road to anarchy.”

The Guardian | Dynamic pay on platforms such as Uber should be banned, says TUC by Richard Partington Senior economics correspondent

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Uber’s 2023 rollout of a dynamic‑pricing algorithm—where pay for drivers and fares for passengers shift in real time according to opaque supply‑and‑demand data—has been condemned by the Trades Union Congress as exploitative and a threat to workers’ rights. The TUC report, compiled with the Worker Info Exchange and Nottingham Trent academics, cites testimonies from Uber drivers who describe earnings as a “gamble,” reporting lower incomes, below‑minimum‑wage pay, strained family life, health risks and compromised safety as they race to accept jobs. An Oxford University study corroborates these claims, showing a substantial fall in hourly earnings after dynamic pricing was introduced, while Uber’s commission rose from 20 % to 25 %. Union leaders are urging the UK government to ban the practice, strengthen employment protections, and grant drivers and unions access to the algorithmic data that determines pay, as legal challenges against the system continue across Europe.
