Library Strike Day 10

I arrived at the Knit-in at City Hall to the sound of library workers singing "With a Little Help From My Friends".

Some library workers were spinning yarn

out of woollen fluff.

Other library staff and interested members of the public were settling in for a couple of hours of public knitting.

City TV was there

to interview library staff on the 10th day of our strike.

I met four generations of the Fairley family on the picket line.

Enjoyed seeing the CBC, the National Post and the Globe and Mail

talking to the Yarn Harlot.

I don't knit so I was fascinated

 to watch the knitting

of the library workers

and the knitters of Toronto who brought their yarn and their knitting needles

in support of a collective agreement we and the city can live with.
