Collective Bargaining vs Strike Tactics Eyed in Winnipeg
The Winnipeg Citizen argues that true collective bargaining existed in three metal trades shops before a strike. It cites minutes and letter evidence from Dominion Bridge Co Vulcan Tron Works and workers at Bridge Company Winnipeg works showing shop committees negotiated, accepted schedules, and voted against strikes. The piece labels the strike a betrayal by union officials and details a mass meeting and turnout that dwindled as workers resisted.
