In a really really perverse way: the "value" of a human is what it takes to get him or her through the factory gate tomorrow morning. Wouldn't anyone with heart read that and admire the cleverness of the "proof" that labor trades at its value, and be horrified by a system that defines things that way?

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."
