Curator's note | Following unsuccessful contract talks between unions and the only major dairy business in Saskatchewan, the unions served strike notices on the dairy. Before the rotating strike could begin, the dairies served the unions with a series of lock‑out notices covering all of their fluid milk plants. The provincial legislature responded to these developments by passing The Dairy Workers (Maintenance of Operations) Act which temporarily prohibited the dairy employees from striking and the dairies from locking out their employees. |
