The Winnipeg Strike of 1919 Was Remembered in the Manitoba Legislature Last Week.

 

Flin Flon MLA and NDP Labor Critic Tom Lindsey recognized the 99th anniversary of the Winnipeg Strike as an historic moment.  He said it was a moment when tens of thousands of workers from the city, newcomers, veterans, women and men joined together to demand respect for workers rights.  He said we know that the legacy of the strike is one of respect for organized labor, for the hard fought gains in working conditions, especially in safety that those who came before us have left for us.  He added it is important each generation learn of the gains made because of the action of the strikers and the importance of organized labor in helping build a fairer society for all.

             

Lindsey asked members to join him in ensuring all Manitobans know of the history and legacy of these brave men and women who participated in the General Strike of 1919, help celebrate their accomplishments and continue the struggle of workers the world over to achieve a fairer society for everyone.
