“The 1982 strike, during ten cold winter weeks, served to fully reestablish the strength that ALAAhad lost in the unsuccessful 1974 strike and the 1975 fiscal crisis — all in the face of great resistance and retaliation from management, the city elite, Edward I. Koch (by then the mayor), and the courts.”

Today is the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the 1982 ALAA strike.
Take a moment to reflect on it.
