1976 CASAW wildcat strike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1976 CASAW wildcat strike was a wildcat strike action by members of the Canadian Association of Smelters and Allied Workers Union (CASAW) against Alcan in Kitimat, British Columbia. From June 3 to June 21 (18 days) union members blockaded roads to protest against Alcan management and wage and price controls imposed by the federal government.[1] CASAW was not a member of the Canadian Labour Congress, the country's mainstream labour federation. Instead, it was affiliated with the Confederation of Canadian Unions.[2][3]
