Chronicles and analyses the 1973, three-month strike of 5,500 workers at Artistic Woodwork in Toronto. The mostly immigrant workers were represented by the Canadian Textile and Chemical Union (CTCU) and were on strike for a first collective agreement. The employer's anti-union tactics and the striking workers' response to them are described. This pamphlet was written by "a group of militant trade unionists and political activists in Toronto," independent of any political party or organization.
