Bill (moderator) highlights increased attempts to rely on part-time workers that were to fill gaps in the early 1990s. Successfully fought off by @ATUlocal113. Sounds familiar! A conversation that will no doubt resurface in the months to come! @ToWorkers @Local4948 @torontolabour

On this day in 1931, a confrontation between RCMP and striking coal miners took place. It became known as the Estevan riot. 100s of miners assembled with their families to parade through the city. The RCMP attempted to block and break up the procession. #canlab #cdnpoli #skpoli

On this day in 1915, waiters at the Royal Cafe in Toronto walked out on strike during the dinner service. A whistle was blown shortly after 6pm as a signal for the waiters to stop working, surprising both management and diners. #canlab #cdnpoli #onpoli
