In most democracies workers could join trade unions and go on strike against unfair pay. However, the bosses would often fire the workers and hire "scabs" desperate for work during the Depression, or break up the demonstrations with hired thugs

Is your work entirely specific to Canada, or can you include the impact of strikes in other countries, like the Jarrow March in England?
