April 9, 1970 - Public school teachers went on strike in Minneapolis, despite a court order banning the walk out. (This was unlike today, where any threat of legal action gets the union bosses besmearing themselves). The Teachers were fighting for raises and the right to collectively bargain. The strike ended in a settlement that gave amnesty for the strikers (they had violated the law). (From Workday Minnesota)
