Sub-series consits of "Pratt 3" three women members of the Ligue Ouvrière Révolutionnaire (LOR) were who, in November 1979, were laid off from their jobs at the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft plant in Longueuil, Quebec. Convinced that the layoffs were due to the women's political activities, the LOR formed the "Pratt Three Defence Committee" to support the three women as they undertook various legal actions, and to bring the situation to public attention. The sub-series consists of press clippings; letters of support and letters appealing for support; incoming-outgoing correspondence; petition forms; information bulletins; leaflets; employment records; grievance applications; internal reports; formal requests to authorities for personal information; transcripts of hearings, legal proceedings, decisions and judgments; financial statements; correspondence to and from legal advisors; a photograph. Among the events and issues documented are Commission des droits de la personne du Québec (CDPQ) hearings and decision, 1980; Montreal District Court (Federal) grievance arbitration hearings and decision, 1980; subsequent hearings, legal proceedings, decisions and judgments involving (variously) Suzanne Chabot, Wendy Stevenson and Katy Le Rougetel (the Pratt 3), the CDPQ, Pratt & Whitney Canada, Canadair Ltd., the Cour d'appel de Québec (Montréal), the Commission permanente de la justice (Québec) and the Cour supérieure (Province de Québec, District de Montréal), 1981-1984; Pratt Three Defence Committee, 1980-1983; and the out-of-court settlement between the Pratt 3 and Pratt & Whitney Canada, 1986. Correspondence from supporters includes letters from Margaret Laurence, June Callwood and Svend Robinson.
