The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 was the largest one in Canadian history. Here is a great summary, and a 45-min video with original footage.
Unions are great! I’m a member of a union, and a shop steward at my workplace.
Repping your union is a part of showing solidarity. Here are some stickers that might do just that. If you’re able, purchase stickers directly from creators instead of via a secondary site, so they keep more of the profits.

I picked up a Labour Council of Newfoundland and Labrador sticker for you at my conference last week but I haven’t managed to get it in the mail yet.
https://www.unionproud.com/ is another good one for strike attire and decals.
