The strike involved 57,800 union members and was the first since 1977.

The strike here involves only about 2,000 of the union's 65,000 active members.

The strike involved around 8,000 workers and was largely limited to Queensland.

The strike involved more workers than any other strike in the 1990s.

Such "general" strikes, however massive they might be, involve workers only in a particular workplace.

The strike took place in the heart of the Great Depression and eventually involved over 7,000 workers.

Union officials say the strike will involve more groups of workers than any previous walkout at a university.

The strike, the largest such walkout in the state's history, involved 21,000 teachers and closed schools attended by more than 300,000 of Washington's 800,000 students.

The strike also involves teacher demands for better benefits and a general upgrading of the state's school system.

The strike, largely over health care benefits, began on Oct. 11 and involves 70,000 workers.
