Judy (Day) Ricketts was fourteen years
old at the time of the International Woodworkers of America (IWA) Strike of
1959. A native of Badger, she, along with other schoolchildren, watched from the
roadside as loggers and local authorities came together in a famous melee that
effectively ended the strike. She believes that the children of the day never
recovered from witnessing this terrible event in Newfoundland’s history.
