Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Hospital workers struck Toronto Western Hospital in 1972 to protest poor pay and bad working conditions. Although an Ontario law now prohibits non-medical hospital staff from going on strike; the workers recently decided they would walk out anyway to support their contract demands. Thousands of federal government employees and some Alberta workers have already staged illegal walkouts.
