today. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 that took place in Winnipeg was fought between the

WTLC (Winnipeg Trades and Labour Council) and the high-payed employers and government.

The workers of Winnipeg struck for better working conditions, better pay, and shorter working

hours. Little did they know that this strike would lead to total chaos in the city of Winnipeg. The

WTLC had to fight with not only the provincial government and employers, but also the military,

RCMP and the federal government. They were greatly out numbered in this strike, but stood

strong in their beliefs and carried on for 6 weeks until the strike was over. The workers were

justified in going on strike and because of this, created a revolution.

Trying to get the employers and government to listen to the WTLC's demands was

better working hours. If it wasn't for this enormous strike, who knows how work in general
