Hamilton's population in 1980 was 306640... with 10,700 on strike, that's around 2.8% of the total population on strike... for almost 17 weeks. The 2006 equal would be 14,100 on strike and around 10,000 laid off afterward.

For sake of comparison, the legendary and historic 1946 Stelco strike involved around 2,000 workers; the city's 1945 population was around 175,400.
