Ulster Workers' Council Victory Rally Stormont 1 June 1974
The Ulster Workers' Council called a general strike in Northern Ireland from 15-28 May 1974, in protest at the Sunningdale Agreement signed in 1973, which proposed power sharing with the nationalists and a role for the Irish Republic in running the government of Northern Ireland. The strike paralysed the province with widespread road blocks and intimidation of workers, and led to the dissolution of the Stormont government and imposition of direct rule from Westminster.
This is the UWC Victory Rally at Stormont.
