Tony Leah: The Truth
Tuesday, January 14th, 2025 @ 7:30 PM (ET)
Immediately following our AGM at 7:00
Join us as Tony Leah, longtime union activist and member of Local 222 in Oshawa, discusses his fascinating new book on the strike of 1937:
THE TRUTH: About the ’37 Oshawa Strike
Background:
Autoworkers unionized the General Motors plant in Oshawa in 1937 after a bitterly fought strike that pitted them against a rabidly anti-union government, hostile press and GM corporation.
It was a major turning point in Canadian labour history. Crucial factors contributing to the strike’s success include the historical background of working-class struggle in the community, patient and courageous prior organizing by Communists, the engaged leadership of rank-and-file GM workers, and the solid support of the United Autoworkers International Union.
Tony focuses on the voices and actions of rank-and-file workers and on the day-to-day events, many of which have been misunderstood or misinterpreted.
It’s an event you don’t want to miss, which begins immediately following our AGM
