Winnipeg General Strike : ウィキペディア英語版 | Winnipeg general strike
The Winnipeg general strike of 1919, although it failed, was one of the most famous and influential strikes in Canadian history. Labour leaders complained that many Winnipeg companies had enjoyed enormous profits on World War I contracts, but wages were not high enough, and working conditions were dismal and the men had no voice in the shops. In March 1919 labour delegates from across Western Canada convened in Calgary to form a branch of the "One Big Union", otherwise known as "The Great Fist", with the intention of earning rights for Canadian workers through a series of strikes. Their goal was to mobilize workers (including those who already belonged to established unions), including all different trades, skill levels, and ethnicities, giving them class solidarity and aggressive leadership. Business leadership controlled the political system in Manitoba, and used force to break the strike and effectively destroy the One Big Union. ==History==
