CFU marched in BC wide demonstrations (on July 23, July 27, Aug 10, Oct 15, 1983) protesting the ‘Restraint’ budget of Social Credit Premier Bill Bennett. Amongst its many cuts the provincial government disbanded the BC Human Rights Commission. ‘The massive fightback under the banner of Operation Solidarity and the Solidarity Coalition are a mere hint of what is possible by extra–parliamentary activity….We responded to the calls from BCGEU for flying pickets. We walked the lines in Vancouver and in Surrey. We held public meetings for our membership in Abbotsford and in New Westminster. We translated Operation Solidarity materials into Punjabi and Laotian languages. We continue to demand the re-instatement of human rights and social services.’
