The Asbestos Strike begins in Canada. The strike marks the beginning of the Quiet Revolution in Quebec.
In 1949, Quebec's Asbestos Strike began, lighting the fuse for the province's Quiet Revolution and major social reforms.
On February 14, 1949, asbestos miners in the town of Asbestos, Quebec, initiated a strike that would last nearly two years.
The Asbestos Strike became a flashpoint against the conservative Duplessis government and the dominant Catholic Church.
Led by trade unions and young activists, workers demanded fair wages, safer conditions, and recognition of their rights.
The harsh response by authorities exposed societal tensions and galvanized intellectuals and the francophone middle class.
This conflict sowed the seeds of the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, driving secularization and expanded state welfare.
The strike is remembered as a catalyst for Quebec's transformation into a modern, socially progressive society.
