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]).
