Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Activities and Organization of the Citizens' Committee of One Thousand: In Connection With the Winnipeg Strike, May-June, 1919 They allowed the Police Force to remain on duty, but openly boasted that it was so allowed under instructions of the Strike Committee. They called out the Telephone Operators in the Manitoba Government Telephone System. They called out the Postal Workers and all the Employees in His Majesty's Post Office. They called out all the workers in the bakeries and dairies of the City and their deliveries. They called out all the caretakers and passenger elevator operators in all the office buildings and residential blocks of the City. They called out workers in retail and wholesale establishments dealing with the necessaries of life throughout the City. They called out the carters and delivery men of these establishments and of the railways and express companies. They called out the employees of the Winnipeg Electric Railway Company. On the third day of the strike they succeeded in calling out sufficient workers in the newspapers to prevent publication of any paper in Winnipeg. They called out sufficient telegraph operators to cut off communication from the outside world. The pretext for this total paralysis of the City's life was an alleged dispute between the small body of workers in the City known as the metal workers and two or three individual employers, and the subterfuge used by the strikers was the question of the right of collective bargaining. Almost a year ago to a day this same group of men conducted a some what similar, but not so extensive a movement, and the pretext used on that occasion was the right of the City employees to form a Union to be affiliated with the Trades and Labor Council.

Download or read book Winnipeg 1919 written by The Winnipeg Defence Committee and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 15, 1919 workers from across Winnipeg, ranging from metal workers to telephone operators, united to spark the largest worker revolt in Canadian history. Even the Winnipeg police voted to join the strike, although they remained on duty at the request of the strike committee in order to prevent martial law. Approximately 30,000 workers walked off the job over the next six weeks, and the city was overtaken by lively demonstrations and marches in what the media, the city's leaders, and the federal government called a "Bolshevik uprising." The clash ended violently when RCMP on horseback charged and shot into a crowd of striking workers resulting in deaths, beatings, and arrests. The strike was called off and workers returned to their jobs without having earned the rights to higher wages and collective bargaining. Following the strike, union leaders published this account of the events leading up to and during the strike. Their volume is the most significant primary source describing the workers' experience of the strike. This book offers the full document in its original format along with an introduction to the 1974 edition by labour historian and activist Norman Penner. His essay has had a major impact on later research. This volume also includes a new introduction by historian Christo Aivalis discussing how the lessons learned in 1919 remain relevant today. Also included in this book are the key documentary photographs of strike events, including a minute-by-minute sequence showing the final RCMP fatal assault on the strikers.

Download or read book For a Better World written by James Naylor and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2022-09-16 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada’s largest and most famous example of class conflict, the Winnipeg General Strike, redefined local, national, and international conversations around class, politics, region, ethnicity, and gender. The Strike’s centenary occasioned a re-examination of this critical moment in working-class history, when 300 social justice activists, organizers, scholars, trade unionists, artists, and labour rights advocates gathered in Winnipeg in 2019. Probing the meaning of the General Strike in new and innovative ways, For a Better World includes a selection of contributions from the conference as well as others’ explorations of the character of class confrontation in the aftermath of the First World War. Editors Naylor, Hinther, and Mochoruk depict key events of 1919, detailing the dynamic and complex historiography of the Strike and the larger Workers’ Revolt that reverberated around the world and shaped the century following the war. The chapters delve into intersections of race, class, and gender. Settler colonialism’s impact on the conflict is also examined. Placing the struggle in Winnipeg within a broader national and international context, several contributors explore parallel strikes in Edmonton, Crowsnest Pass, Montreal, Kansas City, and Seattle. For a Better World interrogates types of commemoration and remembrance, current legacies of the Strike, and its ongoing influence. Together, the essays in this collection demonstrate that the Winnipeg General Strike continues to mobilize—revealing our radical past and helping us to think imaginatively about collective action in the future.
