That's my mistake.
As you can see, most of the links cover the early part of the 20th century. There's a gap after 1950 and this was one of the things missing. I added a note to the top of the post saying that this is not meant to be exhaustive. Thanks for the addition. Please feel free to add others.

Big ups to my GCIU family.
For the info of the people here, there's currently a worldwide printing union campaign going on an it's focused primarily in the Mid-South. Send prayers, thoughts, words, shout-outs and general support along, up and all the way around for my friends in the fight alongside me.
www.justiceatquebecor.com ... if you want more info cuz I know the site is down right now, search Google for GCIU and Quebecor and check us out.
One.

great list. it's not a website but i'd suggest folks check out the book Strike! by Jeremy Brecher. a real eye opener for me... a history of labor movement based general strikes in the u.s. a fantastic book.
