Arizona teachers march toward the State Capitol as part of a rally for the #REDforED movement on April 26, 2018, in Phoenix. Teachers state-wide staged a walkout strike in support of better wages and state funding for public schools.There was the highest number of â??majorâ?* work stoppages in 11 years in 2018, according to data released Friday.
The Labor Department reported 20 stoppages involving at least 1,000 workers last year (https://www.bls.gov/news.release/wkstp.nr0.htm), with the 533,000 workers involved being the highest in 32 years. Stoppages are counted whether theyâ??re strikes or lockouts.
The largest event was the Arizona school strike, a week-long protest that netted the teachers a 19% pay raise.

Oklahoma teachers had the second-largest stoppage, and like the Arizona teachers, they also didnâ??t win all the concessions they sought (http://time.com/5239548/oklahoma-teachers-walkout-ends/). There were also school-related stoppages in West Virginia, Kentucky, Colorado, and North Carolina.
