9,000 phone workers in Canada enter third week on strike
More than 9,000 Communications, Energy and Paperworkers
members have been on strike against Bell Telephone in Quebec
and Ontario since April 9. In both provinces, courts have
decreed no one is to be prevented from crossing the line or
to be "intimidated." Above, phone workers protest as Canadian
cops force through scabs at Bell headquarters in Montreal.
Bell strikers there joined locked-out workers at Bell
ActiMedia in a 300-strong demonstration April 20. In Toronto
Canadian Auto Workers brought lunch and firewood to the
lines. On April 28 strikers from both cities picketed the
Bell Canada shareholders' meeting in Ottawa.
