The Vaga de La Canadenca (The Canadian Wave) was a strike in Catalunya, Spain in 1919.
== Events ==
The strike originated at the principal electricity company in Barcelona, Riegos y Fuerzas del Ebro, popularly known as La Canadiense because its major shareholder was the Canadian Bank of Commerce of Toronto. It soon grew into a general strike, stopping 70% of industry in Catalunya. The Government settled the strike by granting all the striking workers demands that included an eight-hour day, union recognition, and the rehiring of fired workers. The CNT played a major role in organizing the strike.
