May 2, 2018 | LABOR HISTORY | Emboldened by a strike that began in West Virginia earlier this year, four more statewide teachers’ unions — in Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado, and Arizona — have now left work, demanding a fair paycheck. There were seven labor strikes of 1,000 workers or more last year, the second-fewest in U.S. history.
