Strike Diaries
A warm, down-to-earth, at times humorous look at the 2011 support staff labour strike – written from the mud, the cold, the coffee line, and the human heart of it all.
A day-by-day diary chronicled from the picket line by a single mother navigating precarious work, documenting the lived experience of a labour dispute through the lens of community, resilience, and unexpected solidarity.
Perfect for anyone who loves real stories of resistance, hope, community, and what it looks like to stand together when life gets hard.

REVIEWS
- “This was a heartfelt and uplifting read. Lucy takes us on a journey of resilience that builds with every journal entry. Page by page you walk and feel like you are right there in the rain and snow with them as she shares her daily thoughts in her journal with you. Filled with her witty humour and updated with her thoughts looking back, this book is a true testament to our human resilience and strength. A definite must read.”
- “This was diary kept daily by Lucy with whom we walked for 3 months during the fall of 2011. We walked rain or shine for better pay and working conditions. The book itself is well written, easy to read and follows the progress of negotiations, getting to know many people as well as the daily rigoUrs of the 4-5 hour walk.”

Filled with easy to understand tutorials on how to and what to post and not post and I emphasize easy to understand! Also love the humour and anecdotes. Lucy brings to life and shares with you her years of solid experience in marketing and social media platforms. Thank you for this gem.
- “Funny and serious at the same time – how do you do that?”
- “Lucy brings to life and shares with you her years of solid experience in marketing and social media platforms. Thank you for this gem.”
- “This little book is delightfully witty and easy to read and understand. The tips and resources are laced with humour and optimism. Reading the real life lessons from someone who has experienced it all first hand was inspiring and empowering.“
- As a small business owner, it was satisfying to know that much of my thinking aligns with the author’s. Without knowing it, I was already applying some of the same techniques and have had the results I hoped for. But there are other aspects of my business that can still benefit from some pointers in this book, so for me, it was a worthwhile purchase.
