How many private sector workers have gone on strike since the economy went into its tailspin four years ago?

Right, we can’t think of any either.

But then there is government work. Close enough, as they say.

At CSU Fullerton faculty began voting on whether to authorize a strike.

Yeah, in this economy. . .

Did you do any research? I’ve seen several non-government labor strikes in person and read of many in the newsmedia/internet. Probably not as many as in good times. But still plenty of private strikes. One for 3 months was a private hospital constructon site a block from my house. Hundreds out of work.
