The purchase led to several proposed changes to the Brantford plant, such as turning the plant from manufacturing to a distribution center. Press releases, correspondence, and photographs document the 1971 strike.

This sub-series documents the 1978 yearlong strike of over 200 workers at the Puretex Knitting Company, a garment factory in Toronto, Ontario.
