Brandon's Sympathetic General Strike
4/28/2009 at 4:34 AM
April 28, 1919 - Labour unrest continues in Manitoba.
The city of Brandon holds a sympathetic city-wide strike.
Civic workers met with other labour groups in what the Brandon Sun called “... the biggest gathering of labour ever held in the city,” at Brandon City Hall. "The general idea ... was that all the labour here should get into one big union, which would take in all classes of labourers and so unify the whole that they would have a great strength".
