Percy Fisher

Percy Fisher (1891 – 14 March 1922) was an English-born South African syndicalist and trade union leader.

He worked in the mines, and also became active in the trade union movement, joining the South African Industrial Federation (SAIF).

[2] However, his focus on industrial action led to conflict with the union's executive.

Fisher persuaded the SAIF to call a general strike, and the government then declared martial law.

Fisher fortified the Fordsburg City Hall, but was found dead there after it was assaulted by government forces.
