It's not often that I listen to the CBC when I'm not in my work truck, and even then I'll often opt for the local classic rock station, but I just listened to a great podcast about a 1979 "Hot Cargo" work refusal in New Brunswick, Canada that was in solidarity with workers suffering under the dictatorship in Argentina at the time.

If I recall correctly there was a similar action by longshore workers in the same region against the 2003 Iraq war so I guess the historical memory of the class remains intact in Atlantic Canada.

My favourite part of the podcast is when the workers on the wildcat strike ignore en mass the union "business agent" who tries to tell them to report to work as required by law.

This story underlines what I always say; one industrial action is worth a thousand protests.
