Quoth the BLS:
The Work Stoppages Program provides information on major work
stoppages. These are stoppages that involve 1,000 workers or more and
last a full shift or longer. Because of the complexity of disputes,
BLS does not attempt to distinguish between strikes and lockouts in
its data; both are included in the term “work stoppages.”
