"lately"

That's almost a decade ago.

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]).
