The Hôtel des Gouverneurs strike in Trois-Rivières , Quebec , lasted nearly four years .

It was the longest hotel labour dispute in Canadian history, leaving behind a legacy that continues to resonate.

Their struggle is a potent reminder that no strike, however long, is in vain when it becomes a catalyst for enduring change..
