Year: 1991
Description: Unionists rally outside Lafarge Cement plant in Richmond. Members of the Marineworkers and Boilermakers union were striking against concession demands while the company was using scab labour imported from the United States.

They later did, and repealed Bill 19 and created the anti-scab legislation, which has remained.
