The Winnipeg General Strike: A Landmark Labour Conflict 🇹🇩

In May 1919, over 30,000 Winnipeg workers launched a general strike, paralyzing the city. Fueled by demands for fair wages, better conditions & collective bargaining, they faced fierce opposition. Though met with violence & arrests, this pivotal moment paved the way for significant labor reforms across Canada. ✊ 🇹🇩 #Canada #WinnipegStrike #LabourHistory

D’abord dans l’armĂ©e rĂ©publicaine espagnole, puis dans les camps d’internement français, puis encore dans les usines du IIIe Reich aprĂšs l’étĂ© 1940. À l’IG Farben, de Bitterfeld, un Portugais, ancien de l’Espagne rĂ©publicaine, recrutĂ© au camp du Vernet, tĂ©moigne de l’arrivĂ©e et du sĂ©jour des Espagnols de la CIPETA (Commission interministĂ©rielle permanente pour l’envoi de travailleurs en Allemagne), Ă  l’automne 1941.

They’ve rieved the live rose frae the leaf
An bluidit aa hir snawy bosom;
Bit rose-buds wheesh the rose-tree’s grief
An fresh hir rue til reasoun

Thurso Berwick Til the Citie o John Maclean They’ve rieved the live rose frae the leaf An bluidit aa her snawy bosom; Bit rose-buds wheesh the rose-tree’s grief An fresh hir rue til reasoun. They’ve rowpt oor hames an gien us slums, Black-reekit, chokit wi thir factries; Bit rivets, reid-hot in thir wames, Wull efter-birth thir victries. They’ve taen oor bluid tae mak thir gowd An stuid us idle, lean an lankit; Bit nou black’s birlan roun ti reid —They’re drunk at Yankee’s banquet. Then get the lethers on the waa, An gie thir gates Auld Scotland’s shouther; An suid thir heids til Freedom faa, Twull redd them oot the smoother. The doors are doun—the stairs are doun— Lat nane come near athout bean thankit! Fur Auld Lang Syne, then—aa breenge in! —A MacLean is at yuir Banquet! An thank ye braw. An thank ye rife. We thank ye, John, wi reid o roses, Thit, lowan wi life abuin yuir grave, Wull mind us aye whaur lies—no!—ryses The giant wha toured up in the dock Wi eagle een on Scotland’s wrackers, An rowed aside that muckle rock Thit stappit the mou o her makars. They’ve rieved the live rose frae the leaf An bluidit aa hir snawy bosom; Bit rose-buds lave wi reivers’ bluid, Wull lowe wi loe, come simmer seasoun, Whin, Citie, prood o John Maclean, Ye ryse again! An, braw wi reid rutes in the Clyde, Ye guide the warld Ti flourish.
