Let me tell you a story about three strikes.
None of these strikes are labor strikes in the traditional sense, but together they paint a realistic picture of American society.

Hunger Strike:

It was the morning of January 22, 1932, in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood of the Bronx. A crowd was gathering in front of 2302 Olinville Avenue, near the Bronx Park.
City Marshals and Police had moved in to evict 17 tenants who were on a "rent strike". A crowd of 4,000 had gathered nearby.
