Amid heated political tensions, the unelected 'United Unionist Action Council' (UUAC) threatened a general strike across Northern Ireland from 3-13 May 1977 if the London (Westminster) government refused to take what the UUAC described as effective action against the IRA and reinstate the Northern Ireland government based on a system of majority rule.
