| Description |
On August 15, 1983, 9,500 members of the American based International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU), 88% of whom were women, unleashed the first industry-wide strike in forty-three years in Montreal, Canada's principal garment-producing centre. The media was full of the strike: the sweatshops, the health hazards, the return of home sewing, the dying industry.
