The 1984–85 Eaton's strike began on 30 November 1984 when 1,500 newly unionized workers at 6 Eaton's department stores in southern Ontario. They were members of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). The strike ended in mid-May 1985. The strikers won a first contract but it produced few significant gains. Eventually, all 6 shops decertified.[1][2]
