August 30, 1950 - National Rail Strike

April 1, 2007

Brothers and Sisters,

While doing some research, I ran across the attached. It is an article that was printed in the Toronto Star on August 30, 1950. It has to do with the first Cross Country Rail strike in Canada back in 1950 and the legislation that put everyone back.

It is always good to look back at where we came from, to decide on where we are going.

By the way, the author of this piece coincidentally, was my Father.

Stay safe, stay strong, stay united,

Bill Brehl
President
