And notably, scripts from that time really are problematic (somewhat crappy dialogues, weak storylines), and I think some shows even got postponed or cancelled.

What about revenue, though?

Famously one of the Michel Bay transformers movies are from that time... honestly I think the strike was too short to make a systematic shift, movie revenues are as a rule highly variable from film to film but the market average I suspect moves relatively slowly.

"lately"

That's almost a decade ago.

How about the video game voice acting strike?

Good point!

A few others from the past decade which were covered by the country's few remaining serious labor journalists. Some were also written about in books [1] or documented in film [2].

2008: Puerto Rico teachers strike.

2008: Stella D'Oro strike.

2011: Occupy Oakland and unions shut down the port following a call for a general strike.

2012: Chicago teachers strike.

2012: Republic Windows and Doors strike and occupation.

2013: Fast food workers strike in 58 U.S. cities.

There's an exciting younger generation of labor journalists, and a good way to keep tabs on what they are covering is through Dissent's podcast Belabored (feed at [3]).

A previous strike closer to 2000 was the birth of "reality television". The original Survivor was pitched on the basis of its immunity to a looming writers strike.

Unions: We demand high pay for high-quality work!

Management: We don't want high-quality work. Bye.

That strike led to the rise of reality TV. Which led to some people becoming reality TV celebrities. Which led to one of them running for president of the U.S.
