Nouvelles réflexions sur les travailleurs et la grève de Kirkland Lake, 1941-1942

The article examines the historiography of the Kirkland Lake strike from 1941 to 1942 in Ontario. This strike opposed management and local 240 of the union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers. This article pays particular attention to one of the mines affected by the strike, the Lake Shore Gold Mines. The author points to this strike as important in Canadian history, the history of the labor movement, and the history of the Second World War. The work of historian Laurel Sefton MacDowell is examined in light of evidence that was released in 2005. This study examines job applications in addition to documents and newspaper reports that MacDowell had studied.
