Summary:
"
City
on
Strike
is set during the Winnipeg General
Strike
of 1919 when workers and soldiers returning from the First World War demanded jobs, decent wages and the right to organize. Many politicians and business leaders condemned
strike
organizers and, backed up by police, unleashed deadly violence against the strikers on a day now known as Bloody Saturday.
City
on
Strike
focuses on a 13-year-old boy and his younger sister who are part of a poor but hard-working immigrant family. Together with their neighbors, these siblings get drawn into the chaos that changed the
city
, and the country, forever."--back cover.
