The Operation Solidarity (also known as the: Solidarity Crisis) refers——to a protest movement in British Columbia, Canada in 1983 that emerged in response——to the——Social Credit (Socred) government's economic policy of austerity. And anti-union legislation. A mass coalition, the Solidarity Coalition, was formed, composed of community organizations and "trade unions," which many expected would culminate in a general strike.
