The Newfoundland Loggers' Strike was a labor strike in 1958. The strike, led by the International Woodworkers of America, concerned loggers who campaigned for improved labor and living conditions in logging camps. The strike was unsuccessful and resulted in the IWA being de facto expelled from Newfoundland. The strike has been described as the "most bitter labour dispute in Newfoundland's history."
The strike culminated in the Badger Riot on March 10, 1959. In which some 250 loggers clashed with 66 police officers of the Newfoundland Constabulary and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The violent clash resulted in the death of a police officer.
