00:00:02,506 --> 00:00:06,446
It didn't take these temporary
foreign workers very long to
2
00:00:06,446 --> 00:00:10,836
discover that they were being paid
a lot less than Canadian laborers
3
00:00:11,166 --> 00:00:13,326
working on the project above ground.
4
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:19,140
This is the Labor Radio Podcast
Daily for Monday, September 28th.
5
00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:23,680
Local 1611 of the Laborers
Union took up their cause.
6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:29,150
Little did they know that the fight
would last more than five years and
7
00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:31,640
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
8
00:00:31,878 --> 00:00:38,958
That's from On the Line: Stories of
BC Workers on the Labor Radio Podcast

10
00:00:41,406 --> 00:00:48,667
In today's labor history, on this
date in 1917, 165 Wobblies were
11
00:00:48,667 --> 00:00:51,117
indicted for protesting World War I.
12
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:59,660
Today's labor quote is by Dwight David
Eisenhower: "Every gun that is made,
13
00:00:59,770 --> 00:01:05,990
every warship launched, every rocket
fired signifies, in the final sense,
14
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:11,680
a theft from those who hunger and are
not fed, those who are cold and are
15
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:18,210
not clothed. The world in arms is not
spending money alone. It is spending the
16
00:01:18,210 --> 00:01:23,690
sweat of its laborers, the genius of its
scientists, the hopes of its children."
